Ron,

You must have had a hideous grin on your face when you posted that - just
trolling for horrified replies!   :-)

That looks like one heck of an over-priced gimmick! $199 to $395 for what is in
essence two shackles (one bent at 120 degrees to weaken it), and a six foot
length of wire rope.  P.T. Barnum would surely approve. 

Even if it were being given away free, I wouldn't risk fouling my main anchor by
using something like that. I carry a full spare rode for use with the spare
anchor.
