My Gear Failed, but not how you think…

In a recent video I had a soft shackle fail, and I had countless people tell me what I did wrong to cause it, and apparently there are even quite a few posts around the interwebs breaking down how I did it wrong and what caused the failure (even though I haven’t been able to find any of these posts). There are many different arguments about what happened, but the one thing they have in common, is that all of them are wrong. Now I’m not saying that I didn’t use the shackle incorrectly, but I am saying that the design of the shackle itself is the reason it failed in the configuration that it it did, when the other ones held.
I bought this particular soft shackle off of Amazon who knows how many years ago, and I have no idea what brand it is, and in this video I compare it to one of my @YankumRopes shackles to show the difference
in how they are constructed and what I believe caused the failure.

Thanks for doing exactly what you’re never supposed to do, to show the importance of having the proper gear!!! I don’t know how many times I’ve seen people post pictures and shorts of their cheap and dangerous gear. Not only the importance of the right ropes and soft shackles, but choosing the right bumpers that won’t just rip apart as well. Damn Amazon junk gives people a major false sense of security in the off road world.

@ridingwithairbubble1694 Год назад

As a retired USAF Logistician/Statistician I just couldn’t resist. On a second review of your knotty (notty, naughty) video and just for fun, I counted the use of “not” 27 times, “knot” 26 times, and “naughty/‘knotty’” once. The analysis does NOT include contractions…hard enough keeping up, and the probability of error in the count is roughly 10%. Your videos are always entertaining!

@judymoyer3093 Год назад

Casey, thank you for being so helpful, kind and educated about your craft. This comes from a 65 yr old woman/retired nurse. I appreciate you explaining this to us. I always told my children you have to love your job and Casey you do love what you do! I can tell. God Bless you and yours. Your always going to get negative comments, those who think they know it all, and could do it better. Ignore them! They are commenting because they aren't busy enough. Trolls everywhere LOL Love your videos

Well done Casey……Most people that work in the rigging recovery towing business have all seen failures…….It is frustrating when arm chair comedians..try to constantly show you how stupid they really are! Excellent video on what to look for in a good soft shackle

@Dimage666 Год назад

So true. I have seen towtruck driver with 30+ years experience fail at a recovery. Fails will happend and that is just part of the job. The difference is the experienced person know what to do different next time while the arm chair expert have no idea at al.

@johnzuver Год назад

I didn’t realize there was such a significant difference in construction and quality. That was the best analogy and commercial for Yankum ropes ever. You just can’t beat the safety convenience and peace of mind. I bought what I thought was the original on Amazon last Christmas I will have to get the trusted and true yankum rope and soft shackles. Thank you Casey John In Troutdale

@garymoon2829 Год назад

Casey, I had never heard of a "soft shackle" before I started watching your videos a month or so ago,yet your discussion was still interesting! What I particularly appreciated was how you obviously had looked hard to see how the two products differ, and explained your observations in a very clear way. It's obvious that the amazon product had built in liabilities (the loose noose, and the wimpy knot) compared to the other brand. It took a thoughtful examination to pick up on HOW those differences made one superior to the other. Keep up the good work!

@mikesadventures1597 Год назад

Casey , Thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us along on your Recoveries . That by the way you do at no charge. Lets Talk about What a kind Human being you are. Instead of where the knot goes. The Carpenter said. Just shake the dirt from off from your sandals and move on. Best wishes to you and your family,

@tammysimons4916 Год назад

Thank you for this training video Casey. It's nice to see the clip of the failure and your explanation of what caused it. I understand the importance of how the knot is made and the size of the loop from ending beadweaving bracelets with a button and loop.

@BORR6X6 Год назад

Sharing information is very important! Our line of work is dangerous enough. We can all learn from each other. I never paid any attention to my soft shackles before this happened to you. I only focused on the load ratings and for damage. Most of my recovery work is heavy equipment and tractor-trailers. A poorly made shackle could be fatal. Thank you for making this video. As always, keep up the good work!

@arwenevenstar9843 Год назад

Thank you for explaining the problem in enough detail for us lay people to understand. This is one of those episodes that should almost be put in a group list of educational videos. (Videos that include other channel's episodes that are also educational.) Of course, not knowing enough, I did not think you installed the soft shackle "wrong". And when you recovered it, it did not look broken / snapped in 2 pieces. So I just trusted that their was a problem, which is easy to believe for in-expensive items that are basically required to function perfectly all the time. I did like the odd / humorous reference in one of your recent videos about Matt's Off Road Recovery.

@pikeaddict1 Год назад

Love how honest you are. Needs to be more like you out there. And way to point out the obvious that all shackles are not created equal! As always, thank you for being you.

@jeffclark2725 Год назад

Ron Pratt has pointed out (i hope its ok to refrence him in the comments of the video)this Knot digging into the loop on the Yankum shackle just like using the chain and hooks, the farther into the hook the better, you load the hook tip and watch out, those Yankum products look and are well engineered, Great video always learning something new

@kennethblock3825 Год назад

Great video Casey. I love your candidness, you had what you initially thought was equipment failure on a job, and still posted it. Then with more research on it and looking at your equipment that you used, found that it was a design flaw. I have not seen the original video yet, but love the explanation of what caused the failure. I have done some professional towing before and have never used the soft shackles. But after watching you, Matt's Off Road Recovery, trail mater and others, soft shackles have a spot for great usefulness. Thanks for the vid!

@nwatts04 Год назад

I volunteer with an off road recovery group, and we have did over 100 recoveries last year. My gear is used!!! I am glad to see your explanation of soft shackle make up. They are a great tool, but I had no idea how bad some could be until I saw this video. I have Yankum, Rhino USA, Sling Shot, Bubba Rope, and Amazon shackles. I will now look at them a little closer to see if I need to chunk some of them. I do know that none of them have that burned rope like your Amazon shackle. I have yet to have an equipment failure, but know that with time, it will happen. I inspect and clean my gear to make sure that there are no signs of wear that is too extreme. I know now that I need to take a look at my knots and loops on all my soft shackles and make sure they are all in tip top condition. Thanks for the honest review. Keep up the good work.

@cjg1482 Год назад

Great assessment of the why. And leaving the “failure” in the other video was good to see. Your theory seems solid. I need to check mine.

@cageordie Год назад

One of the great safety benefits of the UHMWPE/HMPE ropes, like Amsteel, Spectra or Dyneema, is that they stretch very little, so they don't hold energy... much. So when they break they just drop. I still wouldn't recommend standing near them under high load. I watched one break while a ferry was docking, the ship was going too fast (like slow walking speed with several thousand tons to stop) when the bow spring came tight. It broke with a bang, but just dropped into the water. It didn't spring back along its length. The rope that broke was about 2.5" diameter, so an average strength around 250 tons (depending on manufacturer and construction), but the lack of stretch and the weight of the ship made it snap like thread. A friend was chief engineer on the ferry and he said they broke a couple a year through a mixture of small mistakes and wear.

@lorenberry1 Год назад

Hi Casey I asked yankum rope about how to hook up a soft shackles here is what they said Hi Loren, Casey does show how to properly rig a soft shackle. Right below the base of the knot, he does mention that as he winches the shackle has a tendency to rotate if the tension loosens up. We have engineered ours to maintain a tight fit even if the shackle rotates.

@loveistheanswer8137 Год назад

Great job Casey. A smart person turns every mistake into a learning experience so it doesn’t happen again. Only a fool doesn’t learn from mistakes. Anyone who thinks they are above making a mistake is soon to be humbled.

@myworldzvue8248 Год назад

I had to rewatch that first video. I was right you did mention the size differences in the knots. The real problem with amazon's soft shackle is it is defective. Thanks to that first video I was able to realise that buying cheap soft shackles is a bad idea. Too many arm chair professionals on the internet.

@JointerMark Год назад

Thank you for thus Casey! I'd not heard of kinetic ropes until I started watching MORR. The use of soft shackles is a new thing for me also. Having watched this presentation I now have a much better I understanding of why they'd be used over hard shackles. I can really appreciate why Yankums cost the way they do in how you explained the construction of the shackle! Weaving those fibres all they way back like that must be a very intricate task, even if a machine may be doing it. I've attempted a bit of splicing on sheets or lines and am impressed that Yankum spliced their shackles the way you described....hmmm starting to repeat myself, perhaps I should of stopped the knot/not shots earlier🥴

@lelandkibbee7733 Год назад

@swf1004 Год назад

Don't let them get to you Casey. When I watch the original video I knew exactly what happened and why, I've watched you so many times set up your ropes with the Amazon soft shackle I was wondering when it was going to happen. Obviously some people do not observe what they are watching. Keep up the good work!

Just goes to show that “You learn something new each day!” Also a good example of “You get what you pay for” or at least “ Buyer Beware!” How much would you bet that the manufacturer of the inadequate product KNEW the shortcomings of their soft shackle, but sold it intending to take advantage of the uninformed?!!!

@captcurt31 Год назад

I believe the Yankum shackles are like the ones I bought. The rope passes back through itself and continues to the knot. You can actually open the loop up to get the knot in and pull the loop smaller around the knot before you pull. The loop on the failed shackle appears a fixed size. Nice video. It's refreshing to see an explanation without the marketing/bs from the sales dept.

Thanks Casey! After watching this video I hustled out to the shop to check out my Amazon specials. I went cheap figuring I'd be fine on these smaller ATV soft shackles. Man were you right (again). Big loop, small knot. I don't think I want to be sitting on a quad pulling on these with the force directed right back at me.

@simonkendall1284 Год назад

Thanks, Casey. Now I know there's a newer better way to make soft shackles, I'm off to remake my one where the ends are starting to come out of the diamond knot (partly because I could have done a better job in the first place and partly because it's a baby one made of skinny slippery line).

Someone posted a series of how to that like you has years of experience with soft shackles and that was informative, but you actually showed what you believe is a good way to use soft shackles, Kudos!

Casey, a great informative video. The only comment I will say is that so many different soft shackles are sold on the internet you never know what you are getting until it gets delivered... you see a picture of a similar item that they are selling and you get a totally different one.. the only Safe way to make sure of this issue is to purchase your gear like this in Person so you can inspect it yourself!

@applesbighatranch6906 Год назад

Interesting stuff, Casey. Thanks for posting this. I just looked over my nine soft shackles. One Yankum, two Bubba GatorJaw, two Saker w/ rings, two good Amazon generic (but with large, tight knots and narrow nooses) and two suspect "KingPro" soft shackles/rings. I have seen discussed how the knot on a good soft shackle is more than likely "mechanically set"... dressed by force to become an even better knot. I suspect that my Yankum soft shackle (the one I got with my Matt's Rope) was built that way as are a pair of GatorJaw (Bubba Rope) that I bought at 4WheelParts... those soft shackles are the standard of excellence. The two generic soft shackles are good, the two Saker soft shackles/snatch rings I have purchased through Amazon also have big, tight knots and narrow "nooses". The Amazon-sourced "KingPro" were alarming to me as the no0se is overly-large, and their knots although large seemed loose and not "set". Those are two I will not use. I may destroy those then use the snatch rings on my better soft shackles when the need arises.

Thanks for the side by side comparison. Considering it a good lesson on inspecting equipment too. Haven’t had the all the experiences you’ve had but I too still have all my fingers….. thankfully. 😊

Thank you for this video. I love the breakdown of how Yankum shackles are made .

Great video explaining the details of soft shackles. The moral of this story is to buy quality made shackles, not the cheap junk at Amazon. There is a price difference between Amazon and Yankum and for me, buy the quality assembled shackle and don't try to save money on cheap stuff that will fail.
