National Hardware N176-842 Rope Thimble, Steel, Zinc, 1/2 In.

A rope thimble is a small metal fitting designed to form a protective eye loop at the end of wire rope or cable. By creating a reinforced, rounded loop, the thimble shields the rope from abrasion and wear while providing a secure anchor point for rigging, marine, and industrial applications. Whether you're securing a boat dock, reinforcing a crane line, towing equipment, or building a farm fence, this thimble delivers the strength needed for reliable, long-lasting connections.

The National Hardware N176-842 features a zinc-coated steel construction that resists corrosion. Its compact 1/2-inch diameter fits standard medium-gauge wire ropes and is compatible with a wide range of rope types, including steel, synthetic, and hybrid blends. Installation is straightforward—simply slide the thimble onto the rope and secure it using a proper eye-forming tool.
