The ultra-strong, drop-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.
Our 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.
