These thimbles are designed for holding wire rope or natural rope. The Thimble size is determined by the diameter of the rope. You will see the Size(wire)mm dimension in the chart below. Sizes available are 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 18mm and 20mm. The wire ripe wraps around the thimble and forms a strong tether point - prevents the rope from crushing.
