Product Description
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. 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.

Recommendations:
- We recommend class II splices with lock-stitching. These are the strongest splices for 12 strand rope, which we use on all our splicing for our Winchlines, Winchline Extensions and Rigging Lines.
- We also recommend our rope repair Splice Kit to ensure you have the right tools to make a safe and correct splice.
- Addition of Safety Thimble Isolator as a cushion to protect your fairlead finish
NOTE: Safety Thimbles are designed to be used with shackles for rigging. Hooks can not be used.
