Open Eye Thimbles are rigging hardware used with Stranded Wire Rope Preformed Dead-ends or Synthetic Lines to form strong, protective loops (eyes) for Stranded Wire Rope Termination to Shackles, Turnbuckles, Tower and Mast Pole Down Guy Brackets, Down Guy Earth/Concrete Anchors or other fittings, thus preventing the Stranded Wire/Rope from Kinking, Fraying, and Wearing out by creating a Smooth, Hard Barrier, especially useful for polyester ropes or when splicing, ensuring the line maintains its strength and shape under load. They are installed by bending the rope around the thimble and securing the end, with the open design allowing for easier insertion and use with Shackles, Turnbuckles, Closed Eye Anchors and various other appurtenances of Connection and Termination. Our Open Eye Thimbles are Hot Dip Galvanized for Superior Corrosion Protection.
