Re: Eyebolt help

The mcmaster bolts are a cast eyebolt that supports 500 lbs if I remember correctly.
Most of the ones I found locally were formed by bending the hook to make the eyelets and only support 75 lbs. Be sure to get the cast type. The local Fastenal did have the correct kind. And McMaster ships very quickly. I didn't check the big box stores. Anyone have luck finding them there?
