Standard size bails provide ample room for attaching a single line while keeping weight and overall shackle length to a minimum. They are ideal for attaching halyards and sheets.
Trigger snap shackles are especially suitable for applications where the shackle needs to be opened under load - such as spinnaker sheets and guys.Although they can be opened under light loads using your fingers, trigger snaps are typically released - especially under high loads - by inserting a fid or spike into the trigger opening.
Stronger, lighter, and more compact than conventional snap shackles with the same strength, trigger shackles can replace snap shackles anywhere you want to save weight - halyards, for example - without sacrificng strength or reliability.
