Chief Warrant Officer Joshua Marzi heats up the pin of a shackle as Ensign Joseph Snyder stabilizes the shackle with chain hooks during a competition aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Kukui moored to the pier at Coast Guard Station Juneau, Alaska, Aug. 21, 2019.

Heat and beat refers to when a shackle pin is heated up and one or two people use sledge hammers to beat the torched metal down, which locks the shackle.
