Google search is your friend for this. I input “soft shackle uses” for lots of examples.

I do not sail but I still like to have some laying around, such as on my water bottle, backpack, and as a keyring.

When I travel, I attach several on the backpack loop. I use one to attach shoes as I only use a carryon. Never know when you will need one.

I strap my water bottle to the rack on my dirtbike. It gets bumpy off-road so I use it as a failsafe in case the bottle slips out of the bungees. I also have one on the handlebar with some extra cordage in my pack as a tow strap setup for anyone who needs a tow out of the woods or a bump start. It has come in handy twice with success!

3 paid, shipped out 2 today. Waiting on one to respond with address.

Checked shipping to Australia. Costs start at $20usd but USPS has a restriction to ship there. Hmmm.

I fulfilled an ebay user's request for 10 smaller than 2" and 10 more 2" after show how impressed he was! Here are my results if anyone is interested. The smallest one does not have a center bury. It has 2 criss-crosses - each end goes through each other for a small adjustable eye that JUST slips over the knot. I rather like these.

Anything under 2" is $7/pair

[Amsteelbluez]

I have pricing for 3/16 and 3 variations to choose from:

V1 - traditional bury with milking to close eye
V2 - no bury with crossover on eye side. Eye opens enough only for the knot
V3 - mix of both. Bury with crossover on eye that open enough only for the knot

Shipping= $4.60 since it cannot fit in flat envelope parameters.
(2) 4" = $22
(2) 8" = $25

I have blue, black, and grey

Thanks

Thanks guys for the positive feedback! I've been expanding my lineup and now include 5/16 and 7/16! I have changed my non bury style that some like as well. I posted a picture of a non bury 2 strand but that is not correct.see the attached pic of the grey one.

I also upgraded my loops with a full bury and S type lock stitching for a smooth finish.

"Have you considered creating an Etsy page to sell these?" - I was about to ask you...

...and then I googled "Amstel blue shackles Etsy" and Lo and Behold - pretty sure this is you "ChanMadeGear", right?

[Amsteelbluez]

Yup, that's me

Nice to avoid Etsy fees but also nice to get feedback rating on there so I like to mix it up.
