Harbor freight is not reputable?
You seriously have to ask this question?

I buy a lot of stuff from Harbor freight. Mainly disposable items but have had success with things like a driveway alarm.
I've bought chain and cable also. Hard to beat 25% off coupon. :licking:

Finished installing the bolt on hooks and bolt on clevis. Also installed piranha tooth.

That is the exact product I recommended in an earlier post- don't drill real steel without it.
Nice! I have Ken's hooks and clevis, and Piranha on my Max 26xl too. Definitely some of the best mods you can do. They really expand the versatility and performance of a standard bucket. Pick up a good chain and some straps and you'll be surprised at things you end up using them for. The Piranha bar does wonders for digging or clearing brush too! Great choices, nice job!

I used my Milwaukee Hole Hog to drill the holes. Start with a pilot and then the full size. When the first hole was completed I firmly bolted the hook onto the bucket. The remaining three holes were far easier - using the holes on the hook to hold the drill in place.

Anyone install Tow Hooks to your bucket? Wondering if they are a good idea or not. They would stick forward a bit, or could be installed on the back and stick up. I have a couple already, and they are cheaper than the bolt on hooks.
Can’t post a pic so hopefully you know what I mean.

Are you referring to something like these...
Yes you probably could if you can get both mounting holes on same flat surface.... BUT from me, a "grab" style hook is better choice....

For me the "grab" hook works best with a chain.

That’s exactly what I mean. But if the grab style is better I guess I’ll stick with those. Thanks
