Stainless steel turnbuckles / rigging screws, manufactured from 316 (marine-grade) stainless. Complete with fork-ends and clevis pins, these turnbuckles are used for tensioning wire ropes. At each end of the turnbuckle is a fork-end complete with clevis pin and ring-pin for securing.

The turnbuckle consists of a central bottle screw with a right hand thread and one end, and a left-hand thread at the other. At each end of the turnbuckle is a threaded fork end with clevis pin.
