You're gonna be hard pressed to find a clevis still made in the USA.

Warn's have a China stamp on them.

Master-Pull has some really sweet shackles, not made in the USA but they are very high quality.

I have found a few different companies making USA shackles.. right now I'm looking at some alloy ones with WLL of 7 tons in the 3/4" size that are made in USA. Found them on Ebay.

I like Warn.. they are an Oregon company, but I dont want to finish off my bumpers with "china" shackles hanging on there.

Look for Crosby if you are looking for excellent quality "Made in the U.S.A." rigging. I work in the hoist and crane business, we use their products daily, and it is top notch stuff.

How about Peerless chain brand ? They make the 100% alloy ones I'm looking at.

I have been in the crane and rigging business for almost 30 years now and your best bet is Crosby they are made here in the USA and they stand behind any thing they sell....

Vanport Rigging in Vancouver carries domestic shackles. I think I was quoted ~$20ea?

I went with the imports though. :rolleyes:

I can get you our shiny stainless ones. No China stamp but undoubtedly coming from there.
