Sea-Dog Line 170003 Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Thimble 1/8" Diameter

The Sea-Dog Line 170003 is a heavy-duty wire rope thimble designed to protect and reinforce eye splices in marine rigging applications. This essential rigging hardware prevents wire rope or line from contacting the load directly, distributing stress evenly around the eye splice to prevent crushing, kinking, and premature wear.

Key Features:

• Constructed from stamped 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in marine environments
• 1/8 inch diameter wire rope capacity
• Heavy-duty design provides maximum strength and durability
• Smooth inner surface reduces chafe and abrasion on wire rope and synthetic lines
• Teardrop shape maintains proper eye splice geometry under load
• Ideal for sailboat rigging, anchor lines, lifting applications, and general marine use

Thimbles are critical components for creating strong, long-lasting eye splices that maintain their integrity under repeated loading. The 304 stainless steel construction ensures reliable performance in saltwater and freshwater environments without rust or degradation.
