Poor Shackle,
The latch of the shackle opens with 2mm of pin movement or by a twist of the ring, will have to cut it off and put a new Shackle on. Defeats the purpose of having a pre-spliced. Rope looks OK

Attention: sheet shackle has come undone under load!
I have the 8 mm halyard as a spinnaker halyard and also use it when raising and lowering the mast on the jib fork.
Used it for the second time when lowering the mast in August 2025, the shackle opened under load at a mast angle of approximately 45 degrees. The mast crashed down onto the stern bracket, and the jib fork fell forward onto the deck.
Damage to the stainless steel mast bracket, the mast track, the furling system, and the deck.
Caution with this type of sheet shackle.

Leash OK, shackle dangerous
We bought a 10mm main halyard with a shackle.
The line is fine, but the spliced shackle is dangerous in my opinion and should no longer be used. Even if you slightly turn the locking ring attached to the locking bolt, the shackle opens and releases the main halyard.
It happened to me during a maneuver when hoisting the mainsail; the sail suddenly came down again and the halyard was hanging in the masthead.
It was a blessing in disguise that it happened after we left the harbor and it "only" resulted in a trip to the masthead using the bosun's chair and an unplanned day in the harbor.
This combination should no longer be sold!

Unfortunately not usable for me
Unfortunately, the traps still sink into the second season. They twist before entering the mast and thus prevent the sails from recovering. Particularly uncomfortable when you work on the forecastle when there is a wave and then have to fight your way back to the mast. I cannot recommend this rope as a trap.

Zero service
The product may be good, who knows. But the service! Product indicated "in stock". Deferred order because "some products can not be delivered", without any other explanation. No mail sent, I had to go check on the site of SVB status of the order because I had no news. There, no indication of a possible delivery date. In contrast, availability has now changed in 40 days!

Not working, not delivered. The ability to deliver leaves much to be desired. An up-to-date warehouse management with proof of real delivery in the online shop is actually state of the art. There is a lot of catching up to do here. That of the competition (A ..) is synonymous only an alibi function and does not show the reality.
