Overview:

10 Pack of Fixman M4 Wire Rope Loop Eye Thimble Galvanised designed to help form strong, tidy wire rope eyes while protecting the cable where it bends around fixings. By supporting the loop and maintaining a smooth bend radius, the thimble helps reduce abrasion, crushing, and premature wear when the wire rope is used with hooks, shackles, or eye bolts.
