DuraBrite Nylon Tear Drop Fiber Rope Thimbles - 7/16" to 1/2" Rope - Pack of 25
Premium Nylon Tear Drop Fiber Rope Thimbles - 7/16" to 1/2"
DuraBrite Nylon Tear Drop Fiber Rope Thimbles are precision-molded from high-grade nylon for superior performance with synthetic fiber ropes in marine, arborist, and industrial applications. The tear drop design provides optimal support for rope eyes while the smooth, lightweight nylon construction prevents chafe and abrasion on soft synthetic lines.
Key Features
- High-Grade Nylon Construction – Engineered from durable, UV-resistant nylon that won't corrode, rust, or damage synthetic rope fibers
- Tear Drop Design – Optimized shape provides superior support for rope eyes and prevents rope distortion under load
- Smooth Interior Groove – Polished surface prevents chafe and abrasion on synthetic fiber ropes including polyester, nylon, and Dyneema
- Lightweight & Non-Conductive – Ideal for applications where metal thimbles add unwanted weight or electrical conductivity concerns exist
- Rope Compatibility – Designed for 7/16" to 1/2" diameter fiber ropes
Applications
Essential for synthetic rope terminations in sailboat running rigging, arborist climbing systems, synthetic winch lines, soft shackle assemblies, and industrial lifting applications using high-performance fiber ropes. The nylon construction is particularly well-suited for applications where metal thimbles could damage soft synthetic lines or where weight reduction is critical.

Material Advantages
Unlike metal thimbles that can cut or abrade synthetic fiber ropes, nylon thimbles provide a smooth, rope-friendly surface that extends line life. The lightweight construction reduces overall system weight—critical for racing sailboats, arborist gear, and helicopter rigging. Nylon's non-conductive properties make these thimbles safe for electrical environments and won't create galvanic corrosion issues in marine applications.
