Bolt on chain hooks

[CraigM]

Does anyone know where I can get a few bolt on chain hooks? Weld on would be ok too. I want to put a few hooks on my FEL.

Many other threads on this but AW Direct is a great group to work with. I recently purchased weldable hooks from them and I highly recommend them. The seem to be the consensus favorite.

I saw that they have different sized hooks. Is there any concensus as to which size works the best?

Depends on the size chain you have, but I like the 3/8 grab hooks. They will also hold 5/16 chain...I don't know if that is recommended, but it seems to work for me.

I have both 3/8 and 5/16 chains so using the 3/8 grab hooks made sense to me.

I got the same size hooks (from AWDirect) for the same reason. I figure if I need my 1/2" chain, I'll wrap it around my bucket. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If u need 1/2" chain u better get more than a CUT /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I just got some tow hooks at TSC drilled holes and
bolted them on. Very handy See attached picture.

You make a good point. As I think about it, I might need 1/2" with my CUT, but only to pull it out of somewhere I wish I hadn't gone. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
