Why Use a Thimble?

Using a wire rope thimble is critical in preserving the structural strength of cable loops. Without it, the cable can easily wear, kink, or fail under tension. This 7mm thimble provides the protection and structure needed to keep your connections safe, strong, and compliant with good rigging practice—whether you’re hauling trailers, lifting loads, or mooring a boat.
