Review on Green Hanging Snap Hooks: BETOOLL Heavy Duty Swing Hangers For Wooden Sets, Playgrounds, Porches, Indoors, And Outdoors - 2400 Lb Capacity (2Pcs) by Andrew Holman

Sturdy but with some issues.

Overall, this is a sturdy product whose installation is fairly straightforward. The green paint is of good quality and certainly looks a lot better than bare metal. But the following are some drawbacks.My preference for mounting the swing hangers (I have done this before) is to run a long bolt all the way through a joist and put a large washer and a couple of nuts on the end; that set up will never come apart or rip through the wood no matter how much weight is on the swing. But the Beetooll uses non-standard diameter lag bolts, so the holes in the swing hanger are only big enough to accommodate a standard-sized bolt that is, in my estimation, too narrow to safely be used for holding up the swing. So I am forced to use the lag bolts that came with the swing hangers rather than my preferred choice of using stout bolts that go all the way through the joists. Consequently, I test the swing just about every monthly by placing a lot of weight on each swing hanger.we had a squeak in one of the swing hangers; we used a high-quality lithium spray lubricant to eliminate the squeaking.
