eye bolts

Looped threaded hardware

Eye bolts are bolts with a looped head instead of a traditional flat or hexagonal one, creating a closed ring through which ropes, cables, or hooks can pass.

They're used for securing loads, anchoring points, and rigging applications where something needs to be attached or suspended.

The movers screwed eye bolts into the ceiling joists to hang the heavy chandelier.

The loop may be forged as part of the bolt or formed by bending the shank.
