Turnbuckles (Hook & Eye, DIN 1480)
Turnbuckles — also called rigging screws — are tensioning devices used to adjust the length and tension of wire rope, cables, tie rods and guy wires. The forged hook end hooks onto an anchor point while the eye end takes a pin or bolt, giving a fast, adjustable connection for applications where permanent welding is not practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a turnbuckle work?
A turnbuckle body has opposite left-hand and right-hand threads at each end. Rotating the body screws both end fittings in (or out) at the same time, taking up slack or adding tension without rotating the attached wires or rods.
