Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q: What’s the advantage of a Soft Shackle over a steel D-ring shackle?

A: Soft shackles are lighter, won’t rust, are easier to handle, and won’t damage bumpers or recovery points if dropped. They also float in water and are safer in the event of a failure.

Q: How do I open and close the soft shackle?

A: The loop is opened by loosening the knot and compressing the rope. To close, simply tighten the loop over the knot to lock it in place during the pull.

Q: What is the Factor 55 Standard Duty Soft Shackle used for?

A: It's used as a lightweight, high-strength alternative to traditional steel shackles in off-road recovery. It allows for safe, closed-loop winching connections with recovery points, tree savers, straps, and winch lines.

Q: Is it made in the USA?

A: Yes. Factor 55 soft shackles are designed, tested, and manufactured in the United States.
