Factor 55 Hawse Fairleads are the best in the business. They're CNC machined from thick USA 6000-series aluminum bar and thicker than the industry-standard 0.75" size to extend rope life. Additionally, the slot opening is taller to allow larger ½" tube thimbles to pass through. All Factor 55 Fairleads are coated with a durable MIL-A-8625F TYPE III gunmetal gray hard-anodized finish with a laser-engraved logo. That finish is not a cosmetic thing. The hard coating resists abrasion, damage from extreme side pulls, and is one of the top-five hardest materials known to exist. Plus the low friction coefficient means less wear and tear on your rope. This fairlead was specifically designed for short-drum winches, such as the WARN 9.0Rc winch and is ultra lightweight from having maximum material removed and is extremely rigid and strong. For synthetic rope only and mounting hardware is not included. Made in the USA.
