Heavy Duty Safety Chain Connector

I use this carabiner to connect safety circuitry from an RV to a towed vehicle. Makes towing a car a lot easier and very safe. Should have bought them 5 years ago when I started motorhome driving full time.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Repair

Powerful but weak Best looks Accessories

Really big and heavy. A little overkill for attaching a bow line to boats under 25 feet in length. Despite its size, the spring is oddly thin, and the spring clip has not been adjusted in line with the main shaft, making it a less secure lock.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quality

Heavy, heavy, love her!

I got tired of using the old "screw" tow hooks on my motorcycle trailer so I decided to buy them. Great price and item arrived on time. Very heavy and extremely easy to set up and use. I highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Some Cons

Perfect fit for my Ford Explorer

The pickup hooks on my truck are too thick for the standard 5k safety chain hooks. So I bought one of these to test. I can't change the chain because it's welded, but this allows me to attach the chain perfectly. You only need to twist the chain a little to take up the slack.

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • Minor issues

Great price, solid.

It's big enough to easily carry my drag chain and seems strong enough. I don't see the "weak" issue for the gate that the other reviewer mentioned. Definitely a deal. Bought this after trying another that was too small to fit an everyday tow chain even with serious adjustments. This one is much better for about the same price.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some bugs

Replaced old boat harness hooks with these - so happy with the solution!

The bottom hooks on my old straps kept falling out randomly I suppose when the boat moved a little. I used a dremel to cut the old ones off and replace them with these. So happy with the decision. You stay safe throughout the journey. They are also much better built and stronger than the old hooks. Highly recommend if you have a boat.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Solves 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 Trailer Hitch Safety Chain Fit Issues

So far everything has worked great as it was a huge pain that all the trailer safety chains that fitted our 2006 Silverado didn't fit our 2017 Silverado . These clips solve that problem. Attach to truck, attach any security chain clip to it. Wanted to pick up a new horse trailer and had to attach chains in an unsafe manner to bring it home and had the same issue with a friend's trailer with different security chain clips.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Have doubts

No ordinary hook

I am a main Amazon member and this item, although free shipping, cannot be shipped alone. Instead, it was an additional element. Not a big deal but we had to wait a bit. If I needed it immediately I would order it elsewhere or buy it locally. The price was really good and I needed a Β£5,000 hook. I will say that upon arrival the hook was a little bigger than I expected. However, my requirements are met. Works well and as advertised. The package arrived quickly and without damage. I would…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Used for "extension " safety chain F150

On my 2016 F150 the safety chain connection points are MUCH lower. So the chains don't have enough play to work properly. I attached them directly to my truck (and left them there) and then attached safety chains to them. Their length provides enough slack for the chains to function properly.

Pros
  • RELIABLE STRENGTH. With heavy-duty steel construction, this safety hook is rated for 5000 lbs. Trailer gross weight
Cons
  • Large and bulky
