i seek adventure, but i do it in the USA. That said, awesome vid, whilst doing my laundry i made one of these, and then used it later at my own risk. After much investigation, i also determined the same taper method on the rope is used for syn rope repair. I am learning australian to better apperciate your vids. The australian to America dictionary translates "Dynamo" to "really cheap chinese synthetic winch rope". I have that cheap blue winch rope on my winch, its actually quite strong, single line pull of 12000 pounds during the great South Texas snow storm of 2021. (thats 5000 kilos approximately) No issues. i use my winch alot. Keep the vids coming, making more of these, they are awesome.

Very well put together video and presentation. Thank you so much. I just now need to find some sheathing to put around them to help with fraying.

One of my coworkers is a high wire works stunt choreographer & he uses soft shackles in most of his wire harnesses. The needs of film safety coordinators & designers make these a must have item vs. a traditional piece of hardware. Naturally his are made out of 6 or 8 mm depending on the demands but the product is still safe to use under the right conditions & only by tested pros.

To Seek Adventure: Since you have the ability to test these things to over 26 tons, I have a theory on how to make them stronger. It seems that the week point is the eye on these shackles. I would love to see you start by feeding a slightly smaller piece of rope into the center of the eye before the eye is formed, say an 8 or 10mm piece that is about 70cm long, then form the eye through both pieces of rope. That extra piece of rope in the middle should add literally tons of strength to the eye. Just pulling a number from thin air, I figure you could get a 35 ton shackle with this build. I just don’t have access to a test facility to test my theory. What say you?

Would you be better off doing an eye splice? Or using whipping like the lines on a boat rather than using electrical tape?
@brucestarr4438
3 жыл бұрын
Electrical tape is quick and easy for this use. Why would you want to take the time to "whip" the ends, when it's only a temporary thing? As for an "eye" splice, it won't tighten up the same way that this does. This way, if properly done the more load you put on it, the tighter it grasps the knot. Yet, once the load is released, it opens up easily..

If you construct the shackle to spec. there is no reason it will be less safe than a "Factory Made" shackle. It is no more "irresponsible" than making your own aircraft which is allowed in the States at least. if you follow the process and specifications. if you have ever gone to "the factory" and seen the process you can easily duplicate this at home with the proper materials. Here in the States we can make our own cars, firearms, and many other items as DYIers. What makes something good it knowledge of the process and materials. It is common to perform "field repairs to synthetic winch lines and making a shackle is no different if you have the knowledge and understanding of the required materials and process. That is my only disagreement. Otherwise a very good video.

I'm not gonna lie. I went from never hearing the word "dyneema" ever in my 40 years of life to hearing it 67.95 times in a hair over 16 minutes. That's not all! Because I have never heard of the word "dyneema" before, I had to pause the video at about 9 "dyneemas" in to Google it. Only then did I realize just how dumb I am after confirming with the help of Google that "dyneema" is a rope. And while I was thinking to myself "boy do I feel stupid"! And that I should probably keep this to myself. I figured I would just let everyone know that I now know what a dyneema is. It's a rope 😁 or dyneema for long.
