As such, it’s often chosen for heavy-duty applications. It significantly improves the stability and durability of the rope splice and helps to prevent wear and tear. However, before the loose ends are woven in, a galvanised metal thimble or stainless steel thimble is inserted into the eyelet. The final rope eyelet is very strong and durable, but it’s also flexible and soft to touch.Ī hard eye splice is created in exactly the same way as a soft eye splice. This can be made using 3 or 4 strand ropes, in diameters ranging from 6-60mm. Two eye splice options are currently available, including: To create the eyelet, the rope is simply looped back on itself and the loose ends are subsequently interweaved into the rope to make a secure join. It’s the strongest way to introduce a rope eyelet and, as a result, is typically used when a rope needs to be attached to a fixed point (such as a tree branch, garden post or anchor).

If it’s done correctly – using the recommended method – the splice will only reduce the overall strength by 10% or less. What’s more, because of their tight bends and compressions, they can significantly affect the performance of the rope – sometimes reducing its overall strength by up to 60% or more.īy contrast, a rope that has been spliced doesn’t have this problem. Knots may be relatively easy to tie, but they often have a bulky and unsightly appearance. We have a video on our YouTube channel showing you more.
