The NRS Atomic Aluminum Oarlock is a hot-forged, ultra-strong product that blends the latest technology with a tried and tested design. It is considered the strongest and lightest oarlock available, pound for pound.

*Due to its stiffness, we DO NOT recommend this oar lock for fiberglass oars.*

• The use of the drop-forged production process results in a superior strength-to-weight ratio when compared to cast or machined aluminum pieces, making the NRS Aluminum Oarlock exceptionally lightweight and durable.
• 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.
