QWORK 1/4" D-Ring (Bow) Shackles — 20-Pack 304 Stainless Steel, 485 lb WLL, Screw-Pin

QWORK 1/4" D-ring (bow) shackles are 20 precision 304 stainless-steel screw-pin anchor shackles engineered for corrosion resistance and a 485 lb working load for towing, rigging, and outdoor use.

These QWORK shackles combine a D-shaped (bow) body with a removable screw pin, producing a compact, reversible connector for chain, wire rope, straps and fittings. Manufactured from marine-grade 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, the set is made to resist rust and deformation in wet, salty or industrial environments. Each shackle is rated and sized with a maximum opening of approximately 1/2" (13.1 mm), making them suitable for light- to medium-duty anchoring, cargo tie-downs, and recreational applications where dependable hardware matters.

How strong are these shackles and what load can they handle?

Each 1/4" QWORK D-ring shackle is designed for a working load of about 485 pounds. The 304 stainless steel construction provides a balance of tensile strength and toughness for routine lifting and towing tasks.

• Working load capacity: ~485 lb per shackle.
• Material: 304 stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance.
• Design: D-shaped bow spreads load and reduces point stress.
• Max opening: ~1/2" (13.1 mm) to accept common chain and rope sizes.

How do I install and secure the screw-pin anchor shackle properly?

Installation is straightforward: align the shackle body with the attachment point, insert the screw pin through both ears, and tighten until snug. For added security, use a wrench or suitable tool to ensure the pin is fully threaded; inspect periodically for loosening during use.

• Turn pin fully into the shackle ear until it seats flush.
• Use a wrench if needed to prevent accidental backing out.
• Check pin tightness often for vibration-prone applications.
• Remove for inspection or maintenance; replace if threads are damaged.

Where are these shackles best applied and which industries use them?

QWORK 1/4" D-ring shackles are intended for tie-downs, light towing, lifting small loads, outdoor gear rigging and general cargo handling. Their corrosion-resistant finish suits marine, camping, and industrial environments where stainless hardware is preferred.

• Outdoor: camping, boating, hiking gear attachments and anchors.
• Transport: light-duty towing, cargo securing and tie-down points.
• Industrial: electrical, petroleum, rail and port uses for small fittings.
• Rescue & safety: emergency rigging and temporary anchor connections.

What should I inspect or avoid to keep the shackles safe and long-lasting?

Routine inspection is essential—look for thread wear, deformation, cracks or corrosion in high-stress areas. Avoid side-loading beyond the D-ring design limits and never exceed the working load; replace any shackle that shows damage or distortion.

• Inspect threads and pin seating before each use.
• Avoid bending or side-load situations that stress the pin.
• Replace if any corrosion, cracks, or deformation appear.
• Keep pins tightened and remove for storage in corrosive environments.

Who is this for: QWORK's 1/4" D-ring screw-pin shackles suit outdoors enthusiasts, small-boat owners, contractors and maintenance crews who need a compact, corrosion-resistant connector for light- to medium-duty rigging. This 20-piece pack is economical for fleet use, multiple gear points, workshops and staging where consistent, stainless-steel hardware reduces maintenance and improves reliability.
