More About Thimbles - Standard/Light Duty Steel
When a wire rope is terminated with a loop, a steel thimble is inserted
in the eye to keep the rope from bending at too small of radius and
damaging the rope.  Thimble eyes also protect the wire rope from direct
contact of other hardware and reducing wear and tear on the wire rope. 
Typically used for smaller diameters of rope, we also offer a full line
of Hot Dipped Heavy Duty Thimbles and Stainless Steel Thimbles Type 304 and Type 316.  Please visit our Thimbles home page for a full line of thimbles or our Rigging Supplies and Marine Hardware category for other rigging products.  If you do not see the product you need, please feel free to contact our sales team toll free at 800-660-3585 and they will gladly assist you.
