5/16 inch Zinc Plated Standard Thimbles

Standard (Light Duty) thimbles are used in light rigging applications where the thimble is not exposed to heavy loads. Thesethimbles will stretch and deform if subject to heavy loading. Thimbles can be used for wire or synthetic rope.

THIMBLESare designed and manufactured to protect wire rope from wear and damage, and preserve the shape of the eye when using shackles and hooks. Always ensure that you have the correct thimble for the size of rope being used, for any intermediate size the next size must be used. Thimbles are not load rated and only serve to protect the rope. Always inspect thimbles for abuse, damage, cracks and deformation (stretch) before use.
