Buying advice

When choosing an eye bolt, consider load rating (working load limit), material (zinc for indoor, stainless or galvanized for outdoor), and eye type (shouldered for angular loads). Always ensure the thread size and length match your application. For safety, never exceed the rated capacity and use a washer under the nut if needed.
