Maintenance and Care

Fastener Torque: Periodically check the 5/8" mounting bolt to ensure it remains tight. If you move the shackle frequently, consider swapping the included bolt for a Rogue Detent Pin for faster tool-free adjustment.
Carabiner Inspection: Regularly check the spring gate of the included carabiner for smooth operation. If used for heavy dynamic movements, inspect the interior of the shackle hole for signs of metal-on-metal wear.
Cleaning: Wipe down the shackle with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove chalk and sweat.
Safety Note: Rings and climbing ropes should never be used with Rogue Shackles. The constant friction of rope or straps against the metal edge can cause premature wear and fatigue failure.
