Moose Knuckle Offroad

Recovery shackles that open by hand.

The patented Jowl split shackle swaps the screw pin for two hooked halves. Open it, drop in your strap or rope loop, rotate and pull. No tools and no pin to drop in the mud.

Exclusive Australian distributor
Forged chromoly, Grade 8 pin
Up to 15 colours

How the Jowl works

01
Open the hooks

The two halves swing apart by hand while the shackle stays on your bumper or hitch.
02
Drop in the loop

Your snatch strap, winch rope or tree saver loop goes straight into the hooked side.
03
Rotate and pull

Twist the loop so it engages both hooks, take up the slack, and you’re ready to recover.

BodyForged chromoly steel, powder coated
PinGrade 8 carbon steel, black nickel plated
Built inPull-angle stops and rubber anti-chatter pads
In the boxSix nylon isolators to centre it on any mount

01Measure the mount, not the vehicle

Each size needs a specific pin hole and gap between the ears. Check your bumper tab or hitch receiver against the size guide before you order.

02Work to the WLL

The working load limit is the most the shackle should see in a recovery. The breaking strength is far higher, but that margin is there for shock loads, not extra capacity. And never recover from a tow ball.

03Not sure which fits?

Tell us your vehicle and recovery points, and we’ll confirm the right shackle and receiver before you order. Contact us
