All ASR Soft Shackles are stronger and much lighter than comparable steel shackles - in fact they are so light that they float - and they do not rust. There is no stronger Soft Shackle on the market. Applications are wide-ranging, and include: 4x4 off-road/vehicle recovery, towing, military, agriculture & mining equipment, various marine activities and so much more! Flex Soft Shackles can be washed off with water and air dried. This item is manufactured and tested in conformance with API Q1 Specification standards. Although HMPE fibers are stronger than steel, they are susceptible to wear and cutting - always inspect shackle before use for excess wear, cutting, or worn/frayed areas.
