Smittybuilt hitch shackle combo?

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has any review or knowledge on this cheap ($30) accessory? I know smittybuilt is not the best since its made in china but for a cheaper and seemingly sturdy option just wondering if anyone has already bought it and can testify for its quality?

 

I have one, haven't pulled on it yet though. Seems stout to me.

 

My brother has it. It's solid steel if you were wondering about that; meaning not hollow on the inside.

 

Works great! My friend has used it to pull me out quite a few times

 

I've seen it used with no ill effects. just remember to remove the Shackle when you're not using it, as they will disappear, my buddy can attest to that.

 

does it fit pretty well? on Amazon people said it doesn't fit without grinding? what size pin did you guys use to hold it?

 

they look solid so that's cool you guys can attest to that

 

No grinding as far as I'm aware.

 

my buddies fit fine. no grinding needed

 

Just ordered one when I ordered my winch, figured $30 was cheap cheap, beats buying a D-ring and making my own draw bar.

 

No grinding needed, 5/8" pin

 

sweet thanks guys! I just bought it, I really appreciate the quick responses!

 

I have one and 2 other guys I wheel with have them.

 

I have one....used it with a strap to pull up bushes once. It held up well to the massive jerking I put it through.

 

bushes lol

 

Take a screwdriver through the hole in the pin for the shackle and crank it down tight. I cant undo mine without a tool. Leave it loose and it will disappear

 

Holly bushes....they were pulling the front of the truck up in the air. Fuck a Holly bush!

 

So thieves don't have tools. Makes sense

 

haha thanks for the advice!
