There are all sorts of shackles – and then there is the Trapeze 5 from ART. The new construction is a breakthrough design of shackles, a very well thought out design that now bears the designation “Utility Model”. This is the first shackle that automatically closes; it is multifunctional and easy to use.

The milled singing tree quickie by legendary Kevin Bingham is light small and strong.

The Speedy from Petzl is an aluminum maillon link. It is threaded only at the top so it is extremely quick to use. Only four turns are needed to open or close.

The Quickie is a locking steel connection developed by Kevin Bingham, the inventor of the Rope Wrench. The Quickie is super-compact, and can be used for many applications where a quick, locking connector is needed.

The Quickie works well for a base anchor or canopy anchor because it doesn’t suffer from the side loading problems of a standard carabiner. Also, the quadruple action slic pin rotates, lowering friction when used to choke a rope.
