Eye to eye swivels or double eye swivels, are a type of positioning swivel used to align rigging components to reduce stress during a lift. Positioning swivels are basically two end fittings held together by a threaded shaft and a nut, in this case two eye ends. The swivel can rotate freely to position a hook on to a pick point. Once the load has been lifted, the swivel will not rotate because the force applied by the load holds the swivel in place. Eye-eye chain swivels are high strength connection links used in zero degree straight/vertical lifting and rigging applications.
These swivels are not designed to swivel under load
