It is used to connect the hook to a chain or rope. They come with a pin that is not designed to be easily and quickly removed thus rendering the link semi-permanent.
I want to replace the pin with this to make swapping the hook for a shackle much easier.

Whats the sear strength of those's pins. I would be a little leary put a pin that is only retained by the little strap. What happens when your winch and that little strap comes undone? I use to run a set of the those pins on my door hinges and the little latches always kept popping off. If the pin fell out or back off during winching it might not be a fun experience. Have you thought of using a pin and a cotter key?
