Harken 8mm "D" Shackle — High Resistance
The Harken 8mm "D" Shackle — High Resistance is a top-tier forged stainless steel shackle designed to handle the highest loads encountered in sportfishing and competitive sailing applications. Crafted from 17-4PH stainless steel, these High-Resistance (HR) shackles are forged for superior strength compared to standard stainless steel shackles, then polished to a brilliant high luster finish. Each shackle is stamped with the screw pin diameter for quick and accurate identification, and bears an "HR" imprint to distinguish it from standard-resistance models at a glance.
With a maximum working load of 2,330 kg (5,130 lb) and a breaking load of 4,650 kg (10,260 lb), this 8mm D-shackle provides a substantial safety margin for demanding conditions. The 8mm (5/16 in) pin diameter and compact overall dimensions — 25 mm (1 in) across the bow and 16 mm (5/8 in) at the body — make it suitable for a wide range of rigging and connection tasks. At just 56.7 g (2 oz), it adds minimal weight to your setup without compromising strength.
