I converted to a 1/4" stainless steel chain and this connect to the anchor and chain perfectly. It seems to be high quality and looks really nice.

Decent quality big heavy duty anchor swivel, good quality stainless. I use this on my lightweight anchor setup, with a 7 lb fluke anchor, and 20 feet of chain, i put the swivel on the thimble where the chain section meets my 1/2” line. Massively helps with the helicoptering effect and preventing twisted lines when storing back in the anchor box. As others have noted, there is no seizing wire or any way to prevent the screws from backing out, only choice is to use some thread locker to hold the screws in. Swivels good enough and the chunk of metal feels heavy duty except the very spot it swivels on seems like it will weaken over time. Only time will tell how well it holds up, but I don’t really use my anchor that often. Still, accomplished what i wanted to solve with twisted up lines, great price, works great for what it is. Good product!

Originally intended for my boat anchor, this swivel has been repurposed while waiting for boat season. It occurred to me that it would make a good addition to a magnet fishing set up. Having used it in this capacity a few times now, I can say that it is a well made and useful piece of tackle, no matter how it is utilized. The stainless is still shiny, and the pieces rotate with ease.Weather used for an anchor, magnet or other applications, this tackle will prevent spinning of the lead line up to half inch in diameter. With the potential to save what ever you chose to attach it to, it's value can be greater than it's cost. I suggest to anyone needing such tackle to purchase and try it out.

Three dimensional swivel is the correct swivel for boat anchor transition to chair. Two dimensional subject to bending, failure and loss of anchor.

I put this between the chain attached to the anchor and the 100 foot 3/8 anchor rope I have.This allows the anchor and chain to sit flat on the bottom but the rope will be able to swivel without (hopefully) pulling the anchor as the tide, wind, or conditions change. My use is in an 11" Boston Whaler with a folding box type anchor and 4' of chain. I think it will work great for lighter boats and anchors.Like another reviewer stated, make sure to use locktite on the threads since you can't safety wire the bolts.

This swivel seems solid enough. Needs a bit of grease, but otherwise, it seems to move okay. One slight problem is that the hex key size for each bolt is different; not a deal-breaker, but definitely a hassle. The real issue is that there's now way to secure the bolts in place physically. I could use locktite, but that's nowhere near as secure as having a wire-hole drilled in the end of one of the bolts (like most anchor shackles) for seizing wire. I wouldn't trust this for an extended period, and if you're only on the hook for a few hours or days, you don't really need a swivel. Not sure who/what purpose this is meant to serve.

This anchor swivel is very nice. It is highly polished and looks great. It appears very strong and is of a similar design to Lewmar. I recommend it.
