Hidden Tuck Wire Rope Slings
Hand spliced wire rope slings, also known as hidden tuck slings, are made by constructing an eye and then tucking the tails of wire rope back into the body of the sling. This splicing technique creates a stable eye. This can be particularly useful when there are concerns regarding the possibility of the pressed sleeve of a standard wire rope sling getting caught or snagged during your lift. This is especially realized when using hand-spliced wire rope slings in a choker hitch configuration. Hand spliced wire rope slings make excellent chokers.

Hand spliced wire rope slings are considered to be the original technique to splice wire rope slings. Hand-spliced slings have a slightly less rated capacity than a Flemish Eye Sling and can be manufactured to your desired length +/- the diameter of the wire rope.
