3/8" Winch Hook & Winch Cable Hook Stopper Sets, Heavy Duty Grade 70 Forged Steel Recovery Hook with Safety Latch, Included Allen Wrench,Max 37,478 Lbs, Black

I needed a new winch hook after swapping to synthetic rope because it wouldn't fit over the tube thimble at the end. I came across this one for a good price and it checked all my boxes for what I was looking for. I'm a fan of basic hooks with a latch, they are fast and easy to hook up by anyone while my rock crawler is hanging off a rocky ledge and for that reason I don't like the trendy thimbles that require extra steps and equipment to secure. This hook looked like it would do the job and so far it has worked well. It fits the tube thimble on my winch rope and is about the same size of the hook I removed from the steel cable on my winch. The latch has a strong spring and seems like it should hold up well. The one thing I would recommend doing is cutting off the excess bolt holding the latch on and then peening the end over with a hammer so the nut won't come off as easy. The small bolt stuck out past the nut too much for my liking and was a sharp point that could cut or scratch your hand while handling it.

Well built, hook is very heavy duty. No chance my 12k winch will break this.

Great hook for the price, easy to install and has a heavy duty rating

Very good hook great quality worth the money

Bought this for my lowered 70 Bmw 2002. The tow truck recently cracked my valance. To avoid this in the future, I bought the hook and a strap. The pin is removed and the strap slides in. Look for any tow strap with a bolt thru on the end. It should hold up. Hope I never have to use it
