A lightweight high load eye with HV500 hard anodising and curved surfaces shaped to keep friction as low as possible. Use it in place of a block for kickers, tweakers, genoa barber haulers, lazy jacks, mast base tidies and stanchion leads. After over 300 hours on an abrasion test machine, Barton found no visible wear on the anodised coating.
