n the vehicle recovery world, one of the most important kit pieces are your shackles. Shackles are used for a variety of rigging duties, such as connecting a tree trunk protector, a recovery strap, or hooking up a winch line. For years, shackles have been made of metal with a screw pin to secure the loop. Several years ago, a lighter weight, more flexible version—the soft shackle—came onto the market and have become popular. Warn Industries sells both, so which is right for you?
