QWORK G80 Alloy Steel Hammerlock Coupling Link Connecting Link, 1/2, Red Painted, 12000 lbs Working Load Limit,2 Pack

I don’t know what design engineer thought that the stock F2 50 chain hook ups was a good idea, but they obviously have never pulled anything in their life! This is a great fix Hi-Shear point and easy to install

One of the hammer locks worked fine, the other was a bad casting which prevented the halves from assembling. I had to grind down the bad casting, destroying the paint and also mill down the compression bushing in order to assemble. I didnt have the luxury of waiting for a replacement and its serving the purpose i need, but will not buy from this manufacturer in the future.

My previous and current trucks are both Fords, and I always had difficulty hooking up safety chains. Some times you could try to work them in sideways, and maybe get them to latch, but they would often end up wedged in there and were just all around difficult. These were a pretty easy install. Just a few hits with a mini sledge got the pins locked in. My camper and utility trailer safety chains latch right in with no issues, buy my flatbed car/equipment trailer hooks are just ever so slightly too small to get around the diameter of the shackle. Im hoping I can find a new set that are large enough to get on the shackle. I did find that the extra length caused by the shackle really makes the safety chains hang too low. At some point I will have to remove a link or two to prevent the excess slack. Neither of my issues are really a design flaw-more just simply the nature of this kind of device.

I used these to build a small set of spreader chains they work very well.

The product was received quickly and is exactly as described. No instructions or information pertinent to installation/use was provided. As a result, Google/Bing searches were required and solutions easily found. Installation was somewhat more difficult than how-to videos indicated but was accomplished successfully in about 40 minutes (lots of running back and forth to the tool shed in search of anything that might be of some aid. I did a pre-fit in my shop beforehand, hoping that would alleviate some of the tight fit necessary for this product to work. In the end, a large pliers, small sledge hammer and a wood block was all that was required. I used the Hammerlock links pulling a small trailer to the landfill and back and experienced no difficulties. This product is reasonably priced in comparison to other options available. Hopefully, this isnt a case of you get what you pay for but only time will reveal whether this is true in this specific case.

I use these to allow my trailer chains to hook into my truck, they work well for allowing the larger attachment hooks to go on and off more easily. When installing I found that it took three hands a,two hammers and patience to get them to go together correctly but once they go together and installed I have not had any problems with them.

Its a great product but if youre trying to install this until your tow hitch you need a good hammer to wack the pen in!

The product is perfect for my new F350. The connection points in the OEM tow package is almost non-functional depending on the size of your trailer safety chain hooks. The install either requires a good 6” clamp or hammer. If using the hammer, I recommend wrapping the connection point on the hitch with duct tape or similar so you don’t take paint off the hitch.

Very happy with these. They fit my truck AND my trailers (small trailer and 6,000 lb boat). I bought a hook from a different manufacturer originally, only to discover that it was too thick for my trailer connectors.

2017 duramax had too big of safety holes for my boat trailer hooks. Bought these, no more issues
