Great product. Someone stole my shackles off my truck and I wanted a nice replacement. I came across this set and it's a really great value for everything that you get. Most of the 20' tow straps alone are $30, locking hitch pin is usually $20 and the shackles are around $20 for a set of two - so essentially you're getting a lot of bang for your buck.
The shackles are cast, but seem like they're solid and the isolators and rubber washers are a really nice touch to keep them from making a lot of noise when not in use. The receiver insert is very solid and you can rotate it to make the shackle horizontal or vertical. The hitch lock is great and seems very solid. I'd recommend oiling it once a year or so to keep it from seizing up on you. Tow strap and the bag is really nice. I keep the recovery strap, a few tools and extra things in the bag and it fits nicely under the back seat in my Ram. I've only had the set a couple of days, but It seems like a great value and like it will hold up to the abuse/elements.
To keep the shackles from being stolen, some guys recommend welding them or zip ties, though I'd like to actually be able to use them and zip ties are just a deterrent. If someone wants them, they're going to get them. I used a large crescent wrench and just torqued the pins down tightly. I think that will be enough to deter the "those are nice, I think I'll grab them" jerks.
Happy wheeling and enjoy!
