National Hardware N176-800 Rope Thimble, Steel, Zinc, 3/16 In.

A rope thimble is a small but essential hardware component designed to create a secure, protected eye or loop in wire rope. When you form a loop in rope for rigging, hoisting, anchoring, or securing loads, the bend creates stress and friction at the termination point. Without protection, this stress causes the rope to fray, wear prematurely, and fail. A rope thimble slides into the loop and distributes that load evenly across a smooth, hard surface, dramatically extending the life of your rope and keeping your rigging system safe and reliable.

The National Hardware N176-800 is a 3/16-inch steel thimble with a zinc coating that resists rust and corrosion. Its precision-machined eye ensures a true, round shape that holds the rope securely while protecting against abrasion. This thimble is adaptable to many settings and stands up to heavy use in demanding applications.

Features and Benefits

• Cold-Rolled Steel Construction: Provides high tensile strength and resilience for heavy-duty applications and demanding loads.
• Zinc Protective Coating: Shields the thimble from rust, corrosion, and environmental damage, ideal for outdoor and marine use.
• 3/16 Inch Diameter: Matches standard wire rope sizes and creates a snug fit that prevents slippage during rigging and hoisting.
• Precision-Machined Eye: Ensures even load distribution and reduces friction on the rope loop, minimizing fraying and wear.
