eye bolt

Ringed metal fastener

An eye bolt is a bolt with a looped head instead of a flat or hexagonal one, forming a closed ring for attaching ropes, cables, or hooks: We secured the eye bolts to the deck for the tie-downs.

Eye bolts anchor loads in construction, rigging, and marine applications where a fixed attachment point is needed.
