Product Overview
Our Galvanised Hook & Eye Straining Screws (also known as turnbuckles) are an economical solution for tensioning and rigging applications. The open-body design allows for easy adjustment and inspection of the threads. Featuring one forged hook and one forged eye, this straining screw is ideal for use in fencing, balustrading, and general-purpose rigging where one end may need to be quickly attached or detached. The Hot Dip Galvanised finish provides good corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
Important Safety Notice: These straining screws are not load rated for lifting applications. They are designed for tensioning and securing loads only. Do not use for overhead lifting or any safety-critical application.
