NW eye bolts for tooling are threaded lifting points used to support handling, rigging, and positioning of tooling, fixtures, and industrial components (application dependent). In manufacturing environments, eye bolts are commonly used as a simple, repeatable lifting attachment—especially when paired with appropriate hoists, hooks, or rigging hardware. Because lifting safety depends on correct sizing and installation, eye bolts are typically selected by specification, including thread standard, shoulder style, and rated capacity.

These eye bolts are designed exclusively for use as fixed hinge points for cams or similar components, and in applications where the bolt needs to pivot. They are NOT rated, tested, or certified for lifting operations.

Designed for Pivot Points and Hinge Applications - Northwestern Tools eye bolts (tooling) provide reliable pivot points for machinery, fixtures, jigs, and equipment requiring rotational movement. These components are engineered for mechanical hinge and pivot applications where the bolt needs to rotate freely, not for supporting loads in lifting operations."
