No, these eyebolts are not load-rated and are strictly for non-critical, light-duty applications.
Absolutely not. They are not designed for lifting or supporting structural loads.
The product features a fully threaded design, meaning the thread runs the entire length of the 115MM shank.
Yes, it is designed for outdoor applications like gardening and fencing, though regular inspection is recommended.
No, the item is supplied as a single unit without additional hardware like nuts or washers.
Ensure the pilot hole is not too large; for masonry, check that your wall plug is rated for the correct diameter.
Use a screwdriver or steel rod through the eye for extra leverage, but be careful not to exert excessive force that could deform the eye.
Wipe with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibitor or outdoor-rated clear coat to prevent further oxidation.
To install, first pre-drill a hole slightly smaller than the 10MM diameter to allow the threads to grip firmly. If using in masonry, select a wall plug designed for a 10MM bolt and insert it into the hole before screwing the eyebolt in. To tighten, you can insert a screwdriver or a metal rod through the eye to use as a lever, ensuring you do not damage the eye's shape. For long-term care, periodic inspection of the anchor point is recommended, especially in outdoor environments where exposure to moisture might cause oxidation. If used in a marine environment or areas with high salt content, consider applying a thin coat of corrosion-resistant spray to maintain the finish.
