The inventive Sidewinder replaces a winch hook and the need for a shackle to provide a faster, easier, more direct link to recovery points and rigging accessories. It will quickly attach to most bumper recovery points, D-ring shackles, recovery straps, rope extensions, and soft shackles allowing for faster, easier rigging.
To use, simply unscrew the pin and insert a rigging accessory, such as a strap or a rope extension—or attach to a bumper recovery point. Screw the pin back in and begin winching.
