Shackle Test

[Optimistic Paranoid]

An online Aussie 4X4 magazine tested steel and soft shackles to destruction. Includes a video of the testing, very interesting to watch.

I like to see things break when they're not mine. Great info and a cool video.

That was a very interesting video. I agree I like to see other people's stuff break.

I do wonder how those soft shackles would have performed if they had installed them correctly. As it was they installed them in such a way that the load was being put directly on the knot.
