Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Koch Industries Zinc-Plated Steel 5/8 in. D Wire Rope Thimble is built to protect your wire rope loops from crushing and wear, delivering reliable performance in demanding rigging tasks. Crafted from durable steel with a zinc-plated finish, this thimble offers lasting corrosion resistance and a clean, professional look in any application.

  • Durable, corrosion-resistant construction: The zinc-plated steel shell stands up to outdoor use, moisture, and light exposure, helping your rigging stay strong season after season.
  • Perfect fit for 5/8" wire rope: Designed to accommodate 5/8" diameter wire rope with a 5/8" eye opening, ensuring a secure, snug loop that maintains its shape under load.
  • Rope protection where it matters: The thimble groove shields the rope from sharp bends and abrasion at the loop, extending rope life and reducing maintenance needs.
  • Versatile for a range of tasks: Ideal for marine moorings and dock lines, trailer and cargo lashings, hoisting or lifting setups, and sturdy guy lines for tents or shelters.
  • Simple integration with standard hardware: Works seamlessly with common wire rope fittings, clamps, and hardware to form strong, dependable connections.

Why choose this wire rope thimble

Unlike generic components, this Koch Industries thimble is purpose-built to maintain loop integrity and rope longevity in everyday rigging scenarios. The zinc-plated steel strikes a practical balance between cost and durability for non-extreme environments, making it a smart choice for workshops, boats, and job sites where dependable performance matters.

Practical tips and best uses

  • Pair with appropriate wire rope and hardware for a secure assembly; ensure the rope seats fully in the thimble groove before crimping or swaging.
  • Inspect routinely for corrosion, dents, or deformation; replace if the thimble or rope shows signs of wear.
  • Use in dry to moderately wet conditions; for prolonged saltwater exposure, evaluate stainless-steel alternatives for maximum longevity.

For reliable, everyday rigging that keeps your loops intact and your rope protected, the Koch Industries Zinc-Plated Steel 5/8 in. D Wire Rope Thimble is a practical, proven choice.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
