Anchor shackle ; USA or China?

At the risk of hurting the feelings of China, I decided to forgo the shackle that West Marine had.  I found a US made shackle from Fastenall that was rated at more than twice the strength.  Shame on West Marine.  They should offer the better quality US made shackle. It was only a couple of dollars more online.

Could not agree more. Just one point, however, WM does stock the USA shackle in their Warehouse, you just have to order it.
