When you need to pull two points together and then lock them at a precise tension — a gate that must close tight, a fence line that sagged over winter, a barn door that keeps drifting open — a turnbuckle with hook-to-hook configuration gives you the range and the secure attachment to handle it. This 9-inch body with 5/16-inch thread diameter has the take-up range and load capacity for most medium-duty wire, cable, and gate tensioning jobs. Hook-to-hook ends engage round eyes, ring ends, or chain links without needing an adapter. The 5/16-inch thread diameter handles higher tension loads than the 1/4-inch version — appropriate for the heavier wire gauges and light cable that barn repairs and acreage fencing require. Zinc plating provides season-after-season corrosion resistance. Standard in Stocked at Crofton Lumber and Akron Lumber.
