[QUOTE="Heinz, post: 1869684, member: 48459"] Question for the group... In what situation would you use a receiver hitch d-ring shackle like the below? It seems like this just adds another (very heavy) potential point of failure. If your rope/strap has a loop in the end, wouldn't you always prefer to stick the loop directly into your receiver and lock into place with your hitch pin? One argument I could see is that you get more "bending" pressure on the center of the hitch pin when connecting the rope directly, vs. all "sheer" pressure when using the shackle, but is there any science or evidence to support that? Has anyone bent or broken their properly rated hitch pin when connecting the rope directly into the receiver? [ATTACH type="full" width="220px"]390066[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
