toggles
Hi again,
T ends are forged, usually. If they are done right, there are no obviously piled-up/fractured bits of metal. If you see such things -- or unevenness, off-angles, etc. -- then it's probably a toggle to walk away from.
Some T ends have a stud that threads into a barrel. Not all are bad, but the type is too vulnerable to corrosion, fatigue, and unthreading.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
