US fed spec thimbles – simple and effective
US Fed Spec thimbles are well suited to many applications including engineering operations, gardening and landscape jobs, in sailing, yachting, sculptures and art work.
Fashioned from weather-proof stainless steel, they are great when used in extremely tough external atmospheres for example in marine air and adverse conditions. This is because they will not rust, tarnish or degrade.
