anti-seize on the shackle threads should keep them from rusting shut. Used to use "Never Seez" onboard ship for all of our shackles. Worked in the salty sea environment. Imagine it would work here too. Note a little goes a long way, and it likes to get on everything!
I keep a harbor freight soft shackle in almost all my vehicles but the d rings on the bumper looks so good. The closest harbor freight to me in Seaford Delaware is carrying a full array of Badlands recovery gear and a full array of lighting.
Just like any recovery strap you're going to want to wash your soft shackle after use because the little gritty the sand and dust and dirt particles will tear away the fibers and weaken it
Hard shackles will never be phased out. They are far stronger then soft shackles and far more versatile. The only place a soft shackles had a unique advantage is joining ropes or straps.
@@richardleslie410 yep. People don’t understand rating systems, not do they have a proper think about their recovery setups. It’s rarely explained properly.

I have a pair of these and love them! Amazing how strong they are. Used them in a pinch while camping last weekend as a dog collar 🤣.

you'll never see a rigger for a crane or a hoist use anything but hard shackles and that's where where certifications and the money really counts.
