Abstract: A shackle includes a body having a first ear, a second ear opposed to the first ear and separated from the first ear to define a gap, a U-shaped bow extending from the first ear to the second ear and a pin. There is a first opening defined in the first ear and a threaded connection at the second ear. The pin has a proximal end, an intermediate section and an axial threaded section positioned distally of the proximal end. The axial threaded section and the intermediate section are dimensioned to be inserted through the first opening in the first ear and into the second ear with the intermediate section extending across the gap. The threaded section on the pin is engageable with the threaded connection at the second ear by urging the pin axially in translation relative to threaded connection.
