Osculati Double Joint Swivel Anchor Connector

[wully1]

Anyone used one of these?

It would seem to be a good solution at a good price but I’m thinking I might sleep better with a couple of tested, well moused shackles..

Hi,

I do not know if mine is equal to yours but I sleep well with mine.

Pure Bling. Primarily designed to be a shiny ooh aah adornment for bows overhanging marina walkways.
Bah humbug. The last thing that you want is a fork end directly attached to an anchor shank. That's what bow shackles are for.

What problem does an anchor swivel solve for you?

I could not see the point in mine and so removed it.

Are we still talking anchor connectors here?

It is possible for the articulation in a swivel to jam. If it does, the leverage is pretty strong, and can bend the swivel. A bow shackle (or even a ring) will accommodate dramatic changes in direction of pull, and transmit the tension dreckly to the top of the shank.
