    Happy Thanksgiving all!

    When a seller is referring to a metal shackle as being 3/4 inch, are they referring to the diameter of the hole the pin goes through (alternatively - pin diameter)or to the width of the mounting bracket point (alternatively - the space between the two ends of the shackle)?

    Thanks!

    What you should care most about is the safe working force rating and the safety factor built into it.

    OME and worth every penny.
    Yea, buy good ones stamped w/ safe ratings. Crosby can be trusted.

    Yrs. ago I saw a mishap when one Co. bought cheapo Chinese ones, no one hurt but it broke. Seen those harbor fright come alongs and chain falls break the load chain too.
