This page is full of clips, links, shackles, and swivels for the many different specialty connections a tree climber needs to make. We stock twisted clevises and locking twisted clevises which can be used to attach a mechanical flipline adjuster to your saddle, swivel shackles which can be used to let the connecting hardware turn freely, and a variety of links, snaps, and quick links which are ideal for attaching tools, bags, and other gear. The shackles and links on this page are intended for static loading only and not for shock loading.

The Quickie is a locking steel connection developed by Kevin Bingham, the inventor of the Rope Wrench. The Quickie is super-compact, and can be used for many applications where a quick, locking connector is needed. Excellent for use on a basal anchor.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using the Quickie in a cinched configuration make sure the slic pin is facing away from the tree or object being girthed around. The Quickie pin is not compatible with other Singing Tree devices.
