Hand-tucked wire rope slings, also known as hidden tuck slings, are made by building an eye and then tucking the tail of the wire rope back into the body of the sling. This splicing technique creates a stable eye.
These can be especially useful when you have concerns about the possibility of the pressed sleeve of a standard wire rope sling getting caught or trapped during your lift.
This is especially felt when hand-split wire rope slings are used in the bran hitch configuration. Hand-held wire rope pieces make excellent chokers.
