Exactly as described
Needed specific M16 open body turnbuckles for a marine railing repair. These fit perfectly and the 304 grade steel gives me confidence they will last in the salt air environment.

Good quality hardware
Using these for a DIY zip line anchor system. The metal feels thick and durable. Only giving 4 stars because the packaging was a bit battered upon arrival, though the product itself was fine.

Reliable tensioner
We use these in our landscaping business for securing young trees. They hold tension well and don't slip. The open design makes it easy to inspect the threads for wear.

Perfect for my greenhouse project
I used these M16 turnbuckles to tension the support cables for my large greenhouse. The stainless steel quality is excellent, and they haven't shown any signs of rust after a season of rain. Very easy to adjust.

Great for garden trellises
Bought these to tighten up some sagging wires on my fruit tree trellises. They look nice and shiny, and the adjustment range is generous. Highly recommend for gardening uses.

Solid build, slightly stiff at first
The construction is very robust and feels safe for heavy loads. The threads were a bit tight initially, but once worked in with a little lubricant, they spin smoothly. Great value for the price.
Q: Does this come with hooks or eyes attached?
A: This specific model is an open body turnbuckle designed to accept threaded rods or wire rope sockets with matching M16 internal threads. Hooks or eyes are sold separately.
Q: How do I prevent the turnbuckle from loosening over time due to vibration?
A: Once the desired tension is achieved, it is common practice to secure the central body or the nuts with locking wire (safety wire) or apply a thread-locking compound to prevent rotation.
Q: What is the maximum working load limit for the M16 size?
A: While specific limits depend on the wire rope used, a standard M16 304 stainless steel turnbuckle typically supports a working load of approximately 1,500 to 2,000 kg. Please consult engineering tables for your specific safety requirements.
Q: Is this turnbuckle suitable for saltwater environments?
A: Yes, being made of 304 Stainless Steel, it offers high corrosion resistance and is suitable for marine and coastal applications, though regular rinsing is recommended for prolonged exposure.
Q: Can I cut the threaded rods to size if they are too long?
A: Yes, you can cut standard threaded rods to fit, but ensure you re-thread the cut end or use a die to clean up the threads before inserting them into the turnbuckle for proper engagement.
