What the heck is wrong with people?  Who came up with that, and thought It was a good, safe, idea?


If you must hook 2 straps together, please do not use a clevis, or two towhooks hooked togeter, lol, this is the proper way, I carry a wooden doll to use instead of a newspaper, but same concept.

the rolled up magazine would work fine also. The dowl is only for eas of releasing the straps from one another.

The article that the link goes to says that it has been removed for review... You'll have to tell us what it was...

It was showing how you take 2 towhooks and put them together like in the picture, they then showed the multiple uses for it, such as hooking it to your bumper, using it with your winch, multiple ways to kill a small child, or full grown adult, lol.
 
Glad it got removed, aparently it had been on the site since 2008... hopefuly no one got hurt...

They took the artical down, it was about using 2 tow hooks from TSC and hooking them together.  Very unsafe

TSC's hooks are only 3,500 or 6,000 # capacity.  Not intended for automotive use.
