TITAN Survival1,650 LBS Shackles for Paracord Bracelets (5-Pack) | BLACK | Stylish Premium Metal Clasps.

I got the “D-shackle” version and they work great. I have others from competitors and while they’re similarly priced (about $7 each when I ordered) these are higher quality. The machining for the screw/bolt is smooth AND the hole intended for paracord pass-through is slightly larger than the adjustment holes. I found it easier to make bracelets while using higher quality paracord because of the slightly larger hole. Only negative is that the awesome black paint WILL scratch/fade/chip, BUT the branding seems laser engraved, so even after the black fades you can still impress the ladies with the Titan Tactical logo.

I was hoping to find a shackle that looked good but was also going to stand the test in a watch band that I was replacing. I was very happy to find that these not only feel comfortable against the skin but worked very well for the project I ordered them for. Only downside I can see is that the bolt does completely separate from the shackle which is good for emergencies but it’s not even that bad. Quality is as amazing as the price. I’d post the final product but I’ve not really been happy with the paracord I’m working with which I’m sure is more my fault than the cord...

These are outstanding shackles - smooth (no burrs), STRONG, and really attractive. I love that they come packaged in a box that gives you precise measurements as well as the tensile strength. I've bought lots of shackles in the past, but when one of my customers inquired about their strength I really had no idea what to tell them. I've been a TITAN customer for quite awhile now, and they are definitely a cut above the rest. I recommend these without reservation and will transition to solely using these for my future projects.

These are high quality shackles for any paracord project. They are heavy duty and seem indestructible, but the sturdy all-metal parts weigh in at only 1 ounce (28 grams) on my scale. I like that they are easily adjustable with 3 different settings, and the cross piece is not just a pin but a heavy duty screw, so it's easy to adjust but very secure. Will outlast and out-perform all the cheap plastic buckles out there.I took off one star because I was disappointed to see these are made in China, unlike the other quality Titan products that are made in USA.

If you want a three hole bow shackle for paracord, these are great. The paint has worn off the through pin after 2 months of daily use but it's still going strong. I find it a little difficult to get on and off when I'm not paying attention but otherwise it's fine (mine's a little tight). I ended up making a bracelet with this that holds a RFID tag and other than the slight difficulty putting it on and taking it off it's been great.

I have been braiding survival bracelets for kids activities at a park. Also been trying a bunch of buckles. The kids like them with compasses and firestarters but for my EDC I go with the Titan clasp. I like the look and it's less bulky. Paired with Titans survivor cord I'm not worried about being able to start a fire.

A little pricey. But if they hold up to what the specs are then they are worth it.I will be doing some weight testing with these clips compared to a cheaper Chinese clip of similar design to see if there is more to the brand.-These clips are definitely well made*

I loved this buckle for my paracord bracelet, and I made several for Veteran friends using this buckle and the "veterans" design paracord. But after I wore mine nearly continuously for 3 weeks, (and it was winter so I was not out doing heavy outdoor work) I noticed the black paint starting to wear from high points. It won't be long I suspect before the Titan Logo is gone--faded into the now exposed silver under black finish. In addition to the obvious sturdy quality of the buckle, the logo was a pretty cool reason I invested in the more expensive brand. I'm sure if I needed to actually use the bracelet for survival the buckle would function as advertised. Just think maybe the finish needs to be as rugged as the buckle. But if you want a well made buckle--other than finish, this is it.
