Jones Sports eyebolts are drop forged and hot dipped galvanized. Drop forged eyebolts have a higher tensile strength making them stronger, and less likely to fracture than formed eyebolts. What's the difference between hot dipped galvanized and electroplated galvanized? Most eyebolts sold are electroplated which is less expensive to manufacture but has a much thinner coating process. Hot-dipped galvanized coatings are up to 10 times as thick and will always greatly outlast zinc electroplating in any environment.

For a safety margin, this is 1/5th of the breaking strength. Returned items may be subject to a 20% restocking fee.
