Provide a simple and effective means of making a loop or a thimbled eye in wire rope. Consists of U bolt, bridge and two hex nuts. The U bolt should be fitted over the non load bearing (short) tail of the loop, the bridge over the load bearing longer part. [Remembered by the mnemonic "Never saddle a dead horse"]. The hex nuts should be tightened equally, using a nutspinner or a torque wrench.
