QWORK G80 Alloy Steel Hammerlock Coupling Link Connecting Link, 1/2, Red Painted, 12000 lbs Working Load Limit,2 Pack

Conectar dos cadenas

I am using these for tow chain hookups for my 2017 F250 I have a Class 5 receiver and its too big to hold my regular safety chains. The product showed up on time and seems to be very strong, (they are rated at 12,000 LBS). I went with Red and they look good on my truck. Looks like the paint on the shackle will hold up well. You need a hammer to install the pin through the holes once you line up the piece that is included in the order. I tow a number of utility trailers and a couple of boats. Nothing I tow is over 10,000 LBS. I will add to this review if there are issues. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

These 12,000 lb links worked wonderfully with our 2022 F250 Ford truck. As others have mentioned many trailer safety chain hooks are difficult to snap on and unhook from the late model Ford truck trailer hitches. To simplify installation of these links we discard the pins and bushings, and use Grade 8 bolts to secure the two links together. Use: Two 3/8-24 TPI Grade 8 bolts (4 long). Two 3/8-24 TPI Grade 8 Nylon Insert Lock Nuts (Often called aircraft lock nuts). Four 5/16 (not 3/8) Grade 8 Flat Washers. (3/8 washers work but are loose and stick out on edges). All available at most good hardware stores and ranch supply stores. Install time: 3 minutes for both links. We have five late Ford trucks equipped this way. Super sanitary clean looking installation. One F150, one F250, and three F350s.

Perfect

One of the hammer locks worked fine, the other was a bad casting which prevented the halves from assembling. I had to grind down the bad casting, destroying the paint and also mill down the compression bushing in order to assemble. I didnt have the luxury of waiting for a replacement and its serving the purpose i need, but will not buy from this manufacturer in the future.

These hooks look great and are very strong when using them!

I use these to allow my trailer chains to hook into my truck, they work well for allowing the larger attachment hooks to go on and off more easily. When installing I found that it took three hands a,two hammers and patience to get them to go together correctly but once they go together and installed I have not had any problems with them.

After purchasing a Ford F-250 and realizing you cannot hook safety chains correctly to the hitch, this is your fix. Easy installation and put your mind at ease while towing.

A bit difficult to install, but once installed makes hooking up a trailer so much safer and easier

I should be able to do anything I need and it will hold up.
