{"product_id":"flatlink-e-expert-2","title":"Factor55 FlatLink E (EXPERT)","description":"The large pear shaped shackle mounting hole allows for attachment to either the pin or bow end of common screw pin shackles, as well as common OEM recovery points. This makes the new FlatLink E more versatile than the current FlatLink design, but it also adds the possibility of a dangerous shackle side loading condition (See Picture), especially during momentary slack conditions. A shackle side loading condition is not possible with our standard FlatLink shackle mount due to the shackle pin mounting constraint. For the recreational off roader we highly recommend the safer standard FlatLink product, not the FlatLink E. This way the winch operator does not have to monitor whether the shackle may have shifted and rotated in the recovery tackle. The FlatLink E is only available in the Military Specification Anodizing (Mil-A-8625 F Type III) hard anodized gray finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimply use your traditional D Ring with the Flat Link, or use a soft shackle to connect to your various recovery gear products, whether they are made by Factor 55 or another company, and recover as you usually would, except in a completely safe manner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf color matching is your thing, Factor 55 has you covered with their multiple color options of black, blue, gray, red, silver, yellow, orange, bright green, and dark green.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother positive of the Flat Link is there is no rattle that you would typically have with the hook when it’s connected to a built in recovery point or elsewhere on your front bumper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFactor 55 Flat Link E Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6000 series aluminum\u003cbr\u003e1.75” thick\u003cbr\u003eWeighs 23 ounces\u003cbr\u003eRated to 16,000 pounds — breaking strength 40,000 pounds\u003cbr\u003eCompatible with 3\/8” steel or synthetic line\u003cbr\u003eSnap ring removal\u003cbr\u003eCompatible with 3\/4 Shackles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you want to recover yourself or friends in the safest possible way on the trail, the Factor 55 Flat Link is the recovery product for you.\u003cspan style=\"color: #888888;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Factor 55","offers":[{"title":"Gray","offer_id":50089658417375,"sku":"31958","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":50089658450143,"sku":"31958","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":50089658482911,"sku":"31958","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SIlver","offer_id":50089658515679,"sku":"31958","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/7289\/7759\/files\/FlatLink-E-gray-680x510-4.jpg?v=1780921014","url":"https:\/\/yotamafia.com\/products\/flatlink-e-expert-2","provider":"Yota Mafia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
