slings (no arrows)

[Forest2Furniture]

How many of you use slings when winching and which do you think are best.

I don't like the look of the wire rope slings as I thick it will damage the tree so thinking about duplex nylon slings.

And will I need a D shackle to connect to the winch?

 

Any thoughts would be helpful.

 

Thanks

Webbing sling when anchoring, heavy duty chain when It's a root keeps a better hold. Got my web slings from machine mart, yellow and wide. If you need a lot try Agri-link...shackles army surrpless is the best bet .

Thanks for the info,

screwfix are a bit on the expensive side but found this place SecureFix Direct (UK) - Suppliers To Trade & Public - Buy Now Express Delivery that's seems to be cheaper even with the postage.

its a bow shackle you need, a d shackle should only have one "pull" at 90 degrees to the pin. bow shackle can have two or more "legs"
