What is the difference between grab hooks, snatch hooks and slip hooks? I have read a few hook threads and don't recall them being mentioned before.

Grab and snatch is the same thing I believe and has a narrow opening to hold a link of chain, and really nothing else, a slip hook is larger and can be used with cable, rope, chain or slings.

I will usually put one of each on a 8-12 foot piece of chain, for the versatility.

Kenny, yes that is what I'm looking for. Thanks for the pics. Looks like Achingback is right and I need to go to 3 inch angle to do what I want. Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Thats what I like about this site, you get answers to questions.

My definition is different then JB4310. To me, grab hooks allows me to hook my chains on via which link I prefer. The slip hooks allows me to use my chain as a noose effect that tightens as I pull on it.
It just really depends on what you want the desired effect to be. Sometimes you do what you gotta do. If my grab hook don't fit or cant wrap, a slip hook fits better, only as long it doesn't fall off lol!

No, we agree, maybe I worded it funny. And yes it depends on the situation, that's why most of my utility chains have a slip hook on one end and a grab hook on the other.



Yup, I've got latches on both the slip and grab hooks. My grab hook latches are different from the ones in your link. Mine is from AWDIRECT.

They come in handy for joining 2 lengths together and trusting they wont come undone before you put tension on them
