Make certain that the hardware store shackles have the WLL cast into them. I found that several local stores carried 3/4" shackles but nothing cast into them to say what their load limit was. If it's not cast in the unit don't waste your money, better to spend a few more $$ on a quality product. Hell, I won't hook my truck up to another if they are using shackles with no info cast in them. I'm not taking the chance of being on the receiving end of a 6lb. bullet heading towards me.
