Discover our Barton high load eyes available in six sizes. Crafted from marine - grade aluminum with a hard anodized HV500 finish, these lightweight yet high - performance eyes are a must - have for various on - board applications. Whether it's lazy jacks, barber haulers, or stanchion lead eyes, they fit the bill. The smallest size works with a 3mm line and has a 6mm bullseye diameter, while the largest uses a 16mm line and has a 28mm bullseye diameter. Ergonomically designed, they maximize strength and efficiency, with curved surfaces and HV500 hard anodizing to keep friction low. They have an amazing strength - to - weight ratio, perfect for kickers, tweakers, and areas where weight saving and strength matter. The HV500 hard anodizing offers excellent wear resistance; after over 300 hours on an abrasion test machine, there's no visible wear on the coating. Compared to a standard plain bearing block, these high load eyes have on average only a 15% increase in friction, a 272% increase in strength, and a 51% reduction in weight, based on using 4mm D12 SK75 Dyneema core.

Using your Barton high load eye is straightforward. First, choose the right size for your needs. The smallest size can be attached with a 3mm line, and the largest with a 16mm line. You can use it for a variety of on - board tasks like lazy jacks, barber haulers, etc. When attaching, make sure the line is properly secured to the bullseye. As for maintenance, keep it clean by washing it with mild soap and water regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the hard anodized coating. Check for any signs of wear occasionally, although the HV500 hard anodizing provides great wear resistance. If you notice any significant damage, it's best to replace the high load eye to ensure optimal performance.
