Eye & Eye Turnbuckles

Eye and Eye Turnbuckles

Eye & eye turnbuckles are one of the most common turnbuckle options. The closed eye connection point offers the most secure attachment, as well as a higher working load limit than hook & hook or hook & eye turnbuckles.

NOTE: Turnbuckles are recommended for straight or in-line pull only.

Double Eye Turnbuckle Styles

When it comes to choosing a turnbuckle, there are several important factors to consider. These include construction material, eye type, and the manufacturer.

Construction Material

We offer two primary options: stainless steel and galvanized. Both offer strength and corrosion-resistance, but if you are working in a marine or other high-moisture environment, stainless steel is the way to go.

Eye Type

Almost all of these turnbuckles have elongated end fittings on each end for less component stress and for easier connection of other rigging hardware. The only exception is our stainless eye & eye option. 

In most cases, you will want to choose a style with elongated eyes, unless your application makes that impossible.

Manufacturer

Depending on your application and budget, the manufacturer may or may not be a primary consideration for you. We offer a multiple options, ranging from USA-made Crosby® turnbuckles to more cost-effective solutions.
