Spliced Winch Thimble (SWT) Kit with 9K Sheath Soft Shackle

The Spliced Winch Thimble (SWT) replaces traditional winch hooks or links to reduce metal components in recovery systems. It offers a cleaner, softer connection with secure winch line management.

Key Features

• Spliced winch thimble designed to replace a winch hook or link
• Reduces metal components in the recovery system
• Ceramic coated using Cerakote, applied in Australia
• Positive capture system locks the thimble back inside the fairlead
• Supplied as a kit including a 9K Sheath Soft Shackle

Product Overview

The SWT integrates directly into synthetic winch rope via splicing for a compact, streamlined recovery setup. The positive capture system keeps the thimble seated inside the fairlead, reducing overhang when not under load.

This design suits users aiming to minimise exposed metal hardware while maintaining controlled and secure winch line termination.

Technology & Materials

The thimble is finished with a ceramic coating from Cerakote, providing a durable surface treatment. The system relies on correct rope splicing techniques to achieve optimal strength and performance.

Installation & Compatibility

Installation requires rope splicing knowledge. A long bury or locking splice is strongly recommended to ensure secure integration with the synthetic winch rope. Professional installation may benefit users unfamiliar with splicing.

Suitable for recovery setups where reduced metal hardware is preferred.
