Anchor Swivel with Bruce Anchors OK??

[Gary A.]

I just added one of these barrel swivels to my ground tackle. It makes getting the anchor back up through my bow roller so much easier.It is used to attach the chain to the shank of my Bruce anchor. I noticed there was a warning on the swivel package about higher than normal stress when using Bruce-like anchors. Does anyone have any wisdom to share about this?Thanks, Gary

a couple of years ago they did a comprehensive test on these gadgets. Seems to me that they concluded that they worked but you needed to keep an eye on them for wear and tear.If you can't find the article - get back to me and I'll check out my old issues.
