Swivel shackle with a jaw on both ends (anchor swivel jaw jaw) are designed to prevent any twisting, knotting and snagging on a line or chain.

The shackle ends spin on a central pin which the nuts are welded to. These A4 marine grade stainless steel swivel shackles are strong and durable.
This type of swivel shackle has a hex/socket drive on the jaw pins.
