Whether you're rigging a cable run in a workshop, securing a load on a trailer, or building a custom hanging fixture, finding a compact eye bolt that won't corrode or strip out is a constant challenge. These M3 x 9mm shouldered lifting eye bolts are designed for DIYers, makers, and tradespeople who need a dependable, corrosion-resistant anchor point in tight spaces where larger hardware simply won't fit.
Each pack contains 2 pieces of shouldered lifting eye bolts machined from 304 A2 stainless steel. The thread size is M3 (metric coarse, 0.5mm pitch) with a shank length of 9mm (≈3/8"). The shouldered collar seats flush against the mounting surface, providing a stable base for both vertical and limited angled loads. Available in this M3 x 9mm configuration; contact us to confirm availability of other sizes.
Typical use cases include light-duty lifting and rigging setups, cable and wire rope termination points in marine or outdoor enclosures, hanging lightweight fixtures or signage in retail and workshop environments, and securing tie-down lines on small trailers or equipment frames — all scenarios where a compact stainless steel eye bolt with metric threading is the right call.

The shank length should generally match or slightly exceed the thickness of the material you are threading into. For this M3 x 9mm eye bolt, the 9mm (approximately 3/8") shank is typically suited for panels or brackets 6–8mm thick. Always ensure at least 1.5× the thread diameter of full thread engagement for reliable holding strength.
M3 shouldered lifting eye bolts in 304 stainless steel generally have a working load limit in the range of 20–40 kg (44–88 lb) under straight vertical pull, depending on thread engagement and base material. Always apply an appropriate safety factor and consult a structural engineer for critical lifting applications.
Yes. 304 A2 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance for most outdoor environments including rain, humidity, and mild coastal exposure. For highly aggressive saltwater or chemical environments, 316 A4 stainless steel is generally recommended.
These eye bolts use the standard M3 metric coarse thread (pitch 0.5mm), compatible with any M3-threaded hole or nut conforming to ISO metric standards. They are not compatible with imperial UNC or UNF threads.
A shouldered (also called a 'collared') eye bolt has a machined shoulder or collar at the base of the eye that seats flush against the mounting surface. This shoulder allows the bolt to accept angled or side loads more safely than a plain shank eye bolt, which is rated for straight vertical pull only.
Yes, the open ring design is compatible with shackles, carabiners, wire rope clips, and small hooks typically used in light rigging, cable management, and tie-down applications. Ensure the hardware you attach fits the inner diameter of the eye ring, which is typically 5–7mm for M3 eye bolts.
Each order includes 2 pieces of M3 x 9mm shouldered lifting eye bolts in 304 A2 stainless steel.
