Product Description

Hook-eye turnbuckles are a three piece assembly that consists of a hook-end fitting, an eye-end, and a turnbuckle body. The turnbuckle body is left hand threaded on one end and right hand threaded at the opposite end. Slack is removed from the rigging assembly and tension is adjusted by turning only the turnbuckle body, drawing both end fittings into the body simultaneously. The hook and eye end fittings are threaded opposite, also. Hook end fittings allow for quick attachment to a mating component, but should not be used if tension of the assembly can suddenly release. Eye end fittings provide a secure point of attachment.
