The splice makes a sling that can be easily pulled

E
yes are typically formed FLEMISH EYE SPLICE
using a flemish eye splice.
The ends are secured by
pressing a metal sleeve over the
ends of the strands of the splice.
Pull follows a direct line along
the center of the rope and
eye. Single part body
mechanical splice slings
have a higher rated
capacity than hand-
spliced slings. In the standard flemish eye mechanical
splice, wire rope is separated into two
parts: three adjacent strands to one
part and three adjacent strands along
with the core to the other part. The two
parts are then re-laid back in opposite
directions to form an eye and ends are
secured with a pressed metal sleeve.
