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.

How to Use
A turnbuckle is a device for adjusting the tension or length of ropes, cables, tie rods, and other tensioning systems.
It normally consists of
(A)two threaded eyelets,
(B)one eyelet and one hook, or
(C)two hooks;
one screwed into each end of a small metal loop, one with a left-hand thread and the other with a right-hand thread.
The tension can be adjusted by rotating the loop, which causes both eyelets to be screwed in or out simultaneously, without twisting the eyelets or attached cables.
