Samson Nylite Connector Assembly

Spools, Shields, and Shackle Assembly


Nylite connector assemblies are easily installed into or removed from a premade soft eye. The Nylite spool is only one-seventh the weight of a steel spool. Nylite connectors will not deform or rupture from repeated loadings. The shackle takes advantage of the high-strength Nylite connector and synthetic rope.
