"Loos is a great company."
"Exactly as described, worked for what I needed it to."
"The usual method of using crimping sleeves and cable thimbles is ugly and leaves the ends of the wire exposed (slightly) which could snag clothing or a child's hand. With these marine eye ends, the wire is completely enclosed, absolutely no frayed strands exposed, and it is very smooth and professional looking."

"They also make securing chests or doors while eliminating the need for a lock. However for general use, even if I use two instead of one, the price still makes it a bargain."
"These are great for all types of uses and they are well constructed."
"I've been searching for "Quick Links"."
"I'm seven road miles from the nearest small hardware store -- which doesn't stock these links -- and 30 miles from a store that does."
"I agree with other reviewers, these are definitely not heavy duty like the ones you buy at the hardware store."
"These quick links are great for so many projects."
"I bought this to assist with setting up some sun shades I purchased here also, and only 4 of the links could really be used as the others are too small."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I thought the 3/4" referred to the pin diameter, but it doesn't - it refers to the shackle diameter at the bow. The pin diameter is 7/8"."
"It could be the thick red paint that makes the extra difference, but they just barely fit into my 1" holes (Had to help them in lightly with a mallet)."
"Straight out of the box, the areas where the powdercoat wasn't thick (e.g. the thread, the hole in the bolt) rust has already started to set in."
"Had to return them and get the 3/4 inch rings (which the pin is just under an inch in diameter)."
"These are exactly what I needed to use with all my other straps to recover cars from winter snow issues.It is funny when the only way that you can give them a poor rating/review is because the "paint didn't last" well get them out of the bed of your truck, or stop storing them with your rusty logging chains."
"Nice shackles, disappointed that both came looking almost as if they were mounted and used once or twice maybe even dropped since there was paint chipped."
"These are beefy and well made, and the description is correct that the pin is a full 1" in diameter."
"They are definitely a beefy set of shackles and held up as expected when I got myself in a sticky situation on the trails."
