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

I recently bought a new F350 tow vehicle. When trying to hook up my safety chains for towing, I discovered that the receiver hitch attach points on my new Ford are not as well designed as they could be. After researching solutions on YouTube, I found lots of people are complaining about this (cmon Ford what are you guys thinking?) and many use these connecting links to solve the problem. I ordered a pair of them for my new truck. The links arrived quickly and were well packaged. Installation was quick and easy (after picking up some tips on YouTube). They are rated for well over the weight of the trailer my wife and I have selected so I expect years of good service from them. I will post an update after towing with them for a while.

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.

We adhere to DOT rules and with the connections on the newer pickup trucks, we were having a tough time attaching the chains properly. Found some people using what appear to be large enough shackles, but read them.... they are not rated properly for heave trailers. These hammer locks are great. Rated high enough and wont easily walk away from your truck. Dont use the wrong attachments, and dont half way attach the chains. Use these, they are great. A little pricey but that work well.

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

After installing hitch lights on my truck I need a way to reach behind them to hook up my trailer chains. In the pictures I have attached you can see why I needed them. The hitch lights made it impossible to get to the holes on the hitch slide. I did have a little trouble getting the locking pin through the connector link. Installing them is defiantly a 2 person job. Other than that great product. By adding the Connecting link I am now able to hook my trailer chains to them. I also love the red color because all the ascents on my truck are red and they tie into my color scheme nicely.

Great product, easy to use. The only thing was that the coupling the holds The shackle had some rust on it. No to a deal killer I will inspect some rust from my use, I didn’t expect to come rusted. Besides that great product I use it almost every day, and my friends asked me where I got it and I sent him the link to this great product!
