C. Sherman Johnson Jaw/Jaw Tubular Turnbuckle T Toggle

The C. Sherman Johnson Jaw/Jaw Tubular Turnbuckle T Toggle is a marine-grade rigging component designed for sailors, boat owners, and maritime professionals who demand reliable, corrosion-resistant hardware for standing rigging, stays, and structural support. This traditional-body turnbuckle excels in saltwater environments where standard steel hardware fails, offering the precise adjustability and positive locking necessary for safe deck operations and long-term structural integrity.

Built from forged silicon bronze, the jaw/jaw tubular turnbuckle features an integral toggle jaw design that provides both positive locking and smooth, controlled adjustment without slipping under load. The 316 stainless steel end components resist galvanic corrosion and extend service life in harsh marine conditions, while the forged construction ensures superior strength and durability compared to cast alternatives. The T toggle configuration allows single-hand operation and provides secure mechanical locking once tension is properly set, eliminating the need for secondary safety devices in many applications.

This turnbuckle suits rigging enthusiasts, yacht owners, commercial fishing operations, and naval contractors who require proven, time-tested hardware for critical load-bearing applications. Its compact 8-inch length and lightweight 0.3-pound design make it suitable for deck rigging, shrouds, and upper stays on small to mid-sized vessels. Installation is straightforward—simply thread onto existing wire rope or rod end fittings and adjust tension using the integral toggle, then lock in place for maintenance-free operation across multiple seasons.
