Question

Hard Shackles grade 6 vs grade 8 for recovery ???

Been looking at hard shackles to have if/when needed. Is a grade 6 shackle adequate or is a grade 8 best? Obviously the grade 8 has a higher capacity but would there be any consideration for not wanting a grade 8? Thanks.

Grade 8 for the win IMO. And just some food for thought.
