I plan to. New hooks would be for future things I don't own yet.
Have lifted thousand of lbs with those hooks many times--i use as a grab hook for the chain-and no probs. I'd say the weld held.
What I do is connect a chain between the two hooks and keep it sort of tight. Then I have a 3 ft piece with a grab and slip hook on it and I hook the grab hook to the middle of the chain and wrap around a part of what I am picking up. Works great, I'll post a photo whan I get a chance.
