Good price for tow hook and strap

Cheaper than tractor supply. I have replaced several hooks on my trailer's safety chains. They were easy to install and crimp on the chain. I had to put small clips on my hitch for it to snap into place.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Security

Safety chain hooks.

Great hook for trailer safety chains. Great price, I'm happy with it, but unless you have a hydraulic press you won't be able to press the open end into your chain. This is a very strong hook and a super great price.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not secure

Heavy Duty for Outdoor Accessories

I had to heat the hook a few hundred times and hit a piece of railroad track with a 4 pound hammer to close the chain link, but when I lose the pendant it works . These are not to blame. They are very strong and made of good material.

Pros
  • Multiple Competitors
Cons
  • Clarity

Strong and well designed safety chains for my pendant

They fit my pendant perfectly. The spring-loaded clip keeps the hooks from falling off my receiver while I'm driving over bumpy sections, and the hooks are strong enough to support any load I can put on the trailer.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Useless features

I can't come full circle!

Must be the hardest metal - there's no way to complete an open loop to attach to your chain unless you heat it in an oven and then drill it! I tried with a vise and they didn't move an inch or hit them with a small sledgehammer. . So very disappointed.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Something else

I couldn't bend it into tow hooks and straps

I think you need to know what you're doing if you want to close the small end over a chain link or carabiner. I couldn't tighten it up a bit. I started with a vise, then switched to a real vise, then resorted to a hammer. Nothing worked. I'm sure it's just my ignorance but I needed a closed end and couldn't get one. I've since found what works for me.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Working speed

Chain attachment and pesky sticker

The hook itself is what I was looking for, a solid trailer chain hook designed for one handed operation with a spring retainer that won't break after 3 uses like most. And you can't complain about the cost. Reason for 4 stars: They put an annoying sticker right on the hook. I had to use a heat gun and glue remover to clean it so it didn't attract dirt and stain my hand. A number of reviews discuss how to keep it from slipping off the chain as it doesn't have a clasp. If you use a heavy duty 3/8

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Okay
