I touch mine up as needed.

I have found that with teeth on a bucket, I have not needed the hooks.

I'm glad someone finally said that. i was beginning to think I was the only one that used the bucket teeth for hooks. I've wrapped a chain around the teeth to pick things up many times. This is an ATI toothbar.
