When you're sorting out anchoring, docking, and mooring gear, the first question is whether you need a complete anchor or just the hardware that connects it. These two pieces sit at opposite ends of the price scale and take on very different jobs.
The 2 Pcs Marine Shackle Sailing Rigging Hardware Hooks for Boats Anchor Swivel is a set of small rigging hooks with a quick-release design. The Delta Boat Anchor 22 lb 10 kg 316 Stainless Steel is a complete plow-style anchor for fixed boats. At $22.40 versus $136.27, the price gap is about $113.87, so it pays to know what you actually need before buying.
Quick verdict
If you already have an anchor and need two hooks for connecting the swivel and rigging, choose the marine shackle set. If you need an actual anchor that can stabilize a fixed boat, choose the Delta anchor. They are not direct rivals: one is a component, the other is the anchor itself.

Where each wins
The marine shackle set wins when you need small hooks to finish an existing anchoring setup. It works well for boaters piecing together gear on a budget.
The Delta anchor wins when you need a single, self-aligning plow anchor with universal fitment for all bottoms. It is a complete anchor rather than a set of connectors.
2 Pcs Marine Shackle Sailing Rigging Hardware Hooks for Boats Anchor Swivel
This two-pack gives you rigging hooks with a quick-release design and a compact size of 7.00 x 4.50 x 1.00 cm. If your boat already has a main anchor, these hooks are the finishing touches for the swivel and rigging. You also get two pieces in one order, so you have a spare or can connect two points in your setup. The catch is that these are connector hardware, not holding gear. They won't keep a boat in place on their own, so you'll need to pair them with an actual anchor and adequate line or chain. For a shopper filling out an existing anchor system, this set is the practical way to add the small connectors you still need.
Delta Boat Anchor 22 lb 10 kg 316 Stainless Steel, Fixed Boats from 28-42ft
This is a one-piece, delta-style plow anchor made from 316 stainless steel. Its non-hinged design gives it a simple triangular profile, and its low center of gravity and self-aligning geometry help it settle into position while you secure the boat. It offers universal fitment and works on all bottoms, which makes it a natural choice for a primary mooring anchor. The flip side is scale: this is one large anchor, not a set, and it is much more gear than someone with an existing anchor would need. It is best treated as the centerpiece of a complete anchoring setup, not as an accessory to add to whatever you already own.
Final choice by use case
Choose the marine shackle set when your boat already has an anchor and you want two hooks for the swivel or rigging. Choose the Delta anchor when you need a complete anchor for a fixed boat rather than a component.
