Here's a basic wire rope thimbled eye splice, going around a Gunnebo oblong/oval master link (also called a "ring" by many riggers). A Flemished eye splice like this is strong, safe and the preferred method for sling building. The thimble helps protect the wire rope from abrasion and also helps preserve a proper D/d ratio. The master link provides a nice, large lifting point and is more versatile than a thimbled eye alone. This is a fairly small wire rope, so it's only intended for lightweight a

Pushing a 7/8” wire rope thimble eye sling from the field to its limit. Gradual load ramp until it finally yielded—just 1,300 lbs short of full 5:1 breaking strength. That’s within 1% of lab-perfect, until you factor in the unseen field horrors (overload? Crush damage? Salt exposure?)

Any time you splice a hook into an eye, it's ideal to use a thimble. This helps maintain proper D/d ratio and reduces wear and tear on the wires, making your assembly last longer. In this video, we're making a winch line order (NOT intended for lifting), but it's essentially the same mechanical eye with swage sleeve (Molly Hogan, Flemished) that we use for our open eye wire rope slings. This time, we opted to show the full process without cutting around the little mistakes and fiddly elements th

Thimbled eyes are a popular termination for wire rope slings. The benefit is they help retain the health of the eye, providing a good bend radius and resistance to abrasion. The downside is that you can’t pass one thimble eye through another (of the same size) for easy choking. The eye is formed by splitting the end of the rope into two tails, then overlapping them, and braiding them back together to form a loop. The wire rope will naturally lay back into itself when this process is done correct
