We stock what we sell, orders are shipped within one business day and our staff members are all experienced sailors. We sell two types of Schaefer pad eyes - welded and investment cast. Schaefer welded ring pad eyes are fabricated from type 304 stainless steel rod with stamped bases.
Thick diameter rings with welded construction provide high strength and durability.
Welded 17-4 PH stainless steel. For maximum strength always align pad eye bails to the load. Wichard Folding Pad Eye Use Wichard folding padeyes for points of both permanent and intermittent attachment. Drop forged stainless steel for maximum strength. Since these padeyes have bails that fold down, the angle of applied tension load is always optimal preventing bend.
