They are good quality. Tip: I have a jib furler and used the shackle as pictured. The splice on the new halyard was longer than that on the old one. I found for the 1st year that I had halyard wrap and it was tough to furl/unfurl, which was somewhat lessened if I really yanked on the jib halyard winch. Then this season it occurred to me (why not before this, don't ask) to remove that shackle and attached the soft eye directly to the twist shackle on the furler upper swivel. I now have no halyard wrap issues. I am pretty sure that the extra length introduced by the supplied shackle plus the longer splice prevented the halyard from tightening enough.
