Where to buy clevis/shackles?

[pismorat]

What types of places can I buy clevises or shackles for winching purposes? I have seen some online, but would rather look at them in person before buying them.

 

[k5blayzer]

almost any rigging shop/logging supply..

Do you have Tractor Supply Company/Bomgaars/Orschelins type stores in California?

That or a John Deere Ag Dealership will have them as well.

I bought a set off E-Bay last Christmas. They were Warn brand. Got them for 20 bucks for 2.

local implament store
are you looking for something specific??

 

[pismorat]

Nothing specific, just a shackle with a 1" thread-in pin (not the kind with the cotter pin) that's rated to handle the weight of the truck. I want to throw two on my front bumper as winching points once I weld on some heavy duty tabs. There is a John Deere place near me here in San Diego, so I'll go check them out.

I get mine here at the local True Value store. $15-ish for a good one.

I have gotten them from e bay, local places, northern tool, enco, and a couple other places.

I got some from everywhere including ACE OSH HD LOWES and all the one already mentionned.

northern seems to have good deals on em... seen some decent ones thru tractor supply....

 

[NorCal_Chris]

Local lowes only has the dinky shackles and d rings. I need a set as well, gave me some good ideas to look

 

[munepit]

I need some shackles for my new A-Bomb. What working load limit should I get? It is going on my heavy Suburban. I think I need the 5/8" size, But, there are many different ones. I think Im going with Crosby or Columbus McKinnon. I have heard nothing but good things about these Company's.


Is this overkill? Its 9.5 ton.

Question shouldn't you size your shackles to the size of winch your using.

Like say I have a 10k winch then I should have at least a 5 ton rated shackle correct?
