A hand-spliced wire rope sling is constructed when the end of a single wire rope is bent back along the rope to form the eye. These strands are then tucked into the body of the rope in what is called a tapered and concealed splice. This splice makes a sling that is easily pulled through narrow spaces and there are no rough ends to snag hands. Slings with rope bodies larger than 1-1/2" are made only with Burnt End splices in which ends of the strands are left exposed and cut off with a torch. These may also be cut shorter and served for smoothness. Both types of hand splices have the same rated capacity.
* Lengths are measured from bearing point of eye to bearing point of eye.
