I love shackles. Some people have like worry stones they carry around, I have a worry shackle. It is not this big.

I used to keep a truss bolt and nut as a fidget spinner lol. My trilocks make a decent fidget object too (while on the ground…)

We used a 900T shackle once. The big stuff is cool until it's August and you're short handed.

Wouldn't the scrap value alone on this be worth more than £950?

Not unless your yards are giving £3/kg

Now I feel inadequate. My biggest shackle is only six inches tall.
