Why Use a Winch Thimble?

Smart off-roaders have known for years that a shackle is better than a standard winch hook.

We could write a book on the advantages of a winch thimble, but a picture says it all so much more clearly.

Safe? We don't think so.	Safe

Winch Thimble Details

The Pro-Link winch thimble is the best thimble on the market. Not only does it eliminate the possibility of your winch cable or strap falling out of the strap and causing major damage to a vehicle or person, but it is also beautiful.

Designed in the Solid Works CAD program and stress analyzed with COSMOS Finite Element Simulation software, makes these winch thimbles meet and exceed Rocky Road's minimum requirement of bombproof equipment.

All Pro-Links start life as a chunk of Keiser billet aluminum and end up being an engineering masterpiece.

Why Use the Pro-Link Winch Thimble

Here are a few advantages that the Pro-Link has over a standard hook.

Screw pin shackles are up to 5X stronger than conventional winch hooks
Conventional hooks are too small to safely fit both ends of a recovery strap
Recover straps cannot slip out of a shackle like they can with hooks
Hook safety latches are not rated for loads and can tear recovery straps
Conventional hook surfaces add higher stresses to recovery strap fibers, resulting in decreased strap ratings
Shackles can be quickly removed and stowed away until needed for winching.
Hooks do not cinch neatly against fairleads and are prone to rattling and loosening
Conventional winch hooks are designed for chains - not commonly used recovery straps
Engineered, Tested, and Made in USA - Patent Pending
