Check these outSpeaking of shackles, is anybody using those soft shackles from Bubba Rope, Gator Jaws I think they're called?
I notice they list a breaking strength of 32,000 lbs, but not a WLL. I guess only stuff used in overhead rigging comes with WLLs. At first glance, 16 tons seems like it would be more than adequate. Still if you use 1/4 of the breaking strength as the WLL, then it's WLL is only 4 tons, and if you use 1/5 or 1/6 it gets even worse. I'm not sure it's worth the money. Any thoughts from the rest of you?

I debated getting a soft shackle but then won the longer endless loop sling in a raffle and decided to go with these instead
