The product, in the report: Hampton 3/8 “ Lag Screw Eye Bolts
Ace Hardware Corporation 2200 Kensington Ct. Oak Brook, IL 60523-2100
Safety Issue:
On August 11, Iwas straightening my fence gate using two Hampton brand lag screw eye bolts purchased from Kilgore’s Clear Lake Lumber in League City Texas. While using my come-along, one of the eyebolts failed, allowing the come-along hook to hit me in the jaw. Two screw eyes were used; one stated “Made in china”, the other stated “Made in USA”. Both were from the same manufacturer (Hampton), with the same product number
Fortunately, little or no damage was done, but it could have been fatal.
That caused me to research the safe working load for eye bolts. The tag on the 3/8” lag screw eye bolts stated a safe working load (SWL) of 325 lbs. I looked at other supplier’s web pages for an identical product, and found a SWL of 155 - 230 lbs.
I had purchased additional Hampton brand hardware (1/2” eyebolts, turnbuckles, etc.) for another job, but due to my experience with these two lag screw eye-bolts, I’m returning the hardware.
My Solution concerning this safety issue: This hardware should be labeled correctly with the correct SWL.
