I always carry my lift kit with me.They are stored in my on board tool box. The bucket hook is rarely used on it's own,I use it mainly in conjunction with the lower eyebolt/connector combo. The eyebolt is forged with a 3/4" shank.I generally just hand tighten the nut on the shank for easy install and removal. The eyebolt end has a grabhook,while the short piece of chain has a slip hook(always the right hook for pending job) I only use the connector for max lift jobs. All of my implements have balanced lift points.Will post a few photos.
