Looks great! Hope I don't have to use it!

Bought a Jeep. I bought a winch. Need something better than a big, bulky tow hook. Read reviews and suggestions online and go with this villain. Easy installation. Looks great! Hopefully I don't have to use it anytime soon!

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • So far so good

The perfect complement to any winch

When I installed the winch on the Jeep I had to decide what to do with the hook. I don't care the look of the D-rings hanging from the bumpers so I ordered the Rugged Ridge 15102.04 Winch Hook Holder but after installing it I changed my mind. The flat joint fits snugly into the bumper and provides the solution I was looking for.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Operating speed

Excellent, but there is a new one!

I love this flat link! Easy assembly with circlip pliers. I align it with the clip facing up just in case, as it's hard to tell if it's properly installed. So I wish there was an extra C-clip included for that price. And in this hole I want to install a rubber plug. Duct tape works for now until I find a connector for it. However, these are quibbles, the design can always be improved. The flat link looks great! I also did NOT know that the new and improved version is available for another $10…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Not fashionable

Exceptional product and quality, a satisfied customer!

Great product, I installed it on a Smittybuit winch with synthetic rope. The factory hook was installed so I cut it out with a disc sander. Lubricate the pin with waterproof grease and install it. It was easy and looks great. Better built and stronger than a hook. As a result, the rope will not be damaged in a small collision and you will not have a snag on the bail. My only complaint is the PRICE, expensive and I just don't understand why it's over $120. If they lower the price, they will sell

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Having problems

The workmanship and finish look fantastic. Honestly

This thing is a serious Jeep gem. I haven't had a chance to install a winch in a new jeep, but I took everything I needed with me to do it. new cable, winch mount, center plate, fairlead and this FlatLink. I'm going to put my old Warn XD9000i in a Rubicon X steel bumper (similar to Hard Rock). For FlatLink, the build quality, handling and finish looks fantastic. For the price to be honest. They should. I really wanted the Ultra Hook but couldn't justify another hundred dollars for it. Once I…

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • weight

Really good fit, finish and quality.

Really nice addition to my winch. It goes great with my Rhino shackles (Rhino USA D-ring shackles (2-pack) 41,850lb breaking strength - 3/4" shackle with 7/8 pin. For use with tow strap, winch, off-road jeep recovery ,better on road towing road UTV ATV accessories 3/4" with 7/8" pin. I read one of the questions and someone said it doesn't fit but mine fits perfectly. I'm wondering if they do What did you mean the Flatlink ATV version?Much cleaner than the warning hooks not to mention the closed

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Protection

Just spend your money and buy it.

Asked everyone the same questions. Why are these Factor 55 products so expensive etc.? I watched videos of Factor 55 President talking about the history of their products. I was impressed by all the reviews but I still don't understand why this product is so expensive. So when I broke down and ordered Flatlink I couldn't wait for it to be delivered. Let me be completely honest, when I unboxed this item I was shocked at the quality. It looked like a damn big piece of jewelry. I really don't even

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
