A trunnion assembly to interconnect the shank of a hook to a block, like a pulley block, includes trunnion pins that are assembled through the inner bore of a trunnion body and moved outward to extend from the bore into depending side plates of the block assembly and thus rotatably support the trunnion body and lock the pins in place.

A mechanically connected socket for `on-the-job` connection with structural strand includes a sleeve and an internal wedge shaped member through which the center core of the strand is received and retained while one or more outer layers extend longitudinally about the wedge and a bulbous head which, when assembled, encapsulates the strand.
