Viking Offroad Safety Thimble in Black

Viking Offroad Safety Thimble is the original Safety Thimble, designed by Blaine Johnson. The Safety Thimble is designed to prevent the thimble from getting pulled into the fairlead where most accidents happen in winching, often due to winch "run-on" from electric winches. The Safety Thimble is designed to be used with 3/4" shackles but not with hooks although one can install a detachable hook. The thimble can be pulled tight against the fairlead which keeps rattles from happening. The Safety Thimbles is also lightest option for a winchline ans specifically designed for use with sythetic ropes.
