NRS Atomic Aluminum Oar Lock
The ultra-strong, hot-forged NRS Atomic Aluminum Oarlock combines state-of-the-art technology with time-tested design. Pound for pound, this is the lightest, toughest oarlock out there.
Features and Specifications
- The NRS drop-forge production process yields a much higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to cast or machined aluminum components, making the NRS Aluminum Oarlock both lightweight and incredibly strong
- It is extremely hard to “pop” an oar through the tines of the NRS Aluminum Oarlock, allowing you to row big water with more confidence
- If somehow you do pop an oar, the tines return to their original shape, so you’re not left with a bent oarlock
- In hot forging, a metal blank is heated to a precise temperature, then the part is stamped out under extreme pressure
- The secret to the part’s strength is the aligning of the metal’s crystalline structure by the heat and stamping
- Durable anodized finish eliminates oxidation and discoloration
- Smooth finish protects oar shafts, rope wrap and oar sleeves from wear
- Includes split rings to keep the oarlock from riding up
