Bent wire eye bolts, also referred to as wire eye bolts, or turned eye bolts, are a steel wire fastener featuring a nearly closed eye loop with a threaded shank on the other end. Designed for through-hole applications, bent wire eye bolts are often used for routing cable, and light-duty lashing and suspension within their appropriate load limit. Bent wire eye bolts are not for use in rigging or lifting applications as the eye loop can open under heavy loads.
