A thimble tucked into each eye is what sets this 1/4-inch Standard Eye & Thimble Wire Rope Sling apart, protecting the Flemish eye from wear and helping it keep its shape under repeated use. Rated to 0.65 tons, it's a dependable single-leg choice that typically costs less than a comparable chain sling.
Key Features
- A thimble eye wire rope sling built for long-term, dependable eye protection
- Thimble fitted inside the eye at both ends to guard against deformation and spread load evenly

- Wire rope is bright-finish, Extra Improved Plow Steel (EIPS) with an independent core, usually built in a 6x19 configuration
- Handles a wide service range, from -40°F / -40°C up through 400°F / 204°C
- Built in line with ASME B30.9 and OSHA 1910.184
Applications
- Jobs calling for a permanent eye on both ends rather than a hook
- Single-leg rigging in confined work areas
