Stainless Steel 316 Wire Rope Thimble Marine Grade Cable Thimble Rigging Din6899

Wire rope thimbles - also called steel rope thimbles, cable thimbles or simply wire thimbles - are used in conjunction with other wire rope hardware to support wire rope eyes. The thimble eye supports the integrity of the wire rope and helps prevent pinching, crushing, and fraying. Thimbles reinforce the loop of the rope and provide a durable connection surface for rigging hardware like hooks and turnbuckles while wire rope hardware pinches the dead end shut.

Wire Rope Thimbles help with easily creating an eye or loop when knotting, storing, or twisting rope. It prevents extra wear on the loop end of the rope or cord as well by protecting it when it is and isn't in use. The zinc material used to make the thimbles allows them to be resistant to corrosion, so it can continue to be used without having to worry about wearing them out after a short amount of time. Great for use indoors around the house or outdoors while farming, ranching, or during industrial uses. In additional to storing and protecting rope and cord, thimbles can be used for fastening and winching.
