Hulk's smile!

 

Yup. Like that it closes and that piece can take some load. Not that I would be loading the latch but much beefier than a normal hook and claspe style.

 

Fucking right!! I just picked up an 8.
Cant wait to save up for a drone now

 

+1

Went to go get the 7 Silver and got the 8 instead ... Doh!

Wife was glad I didn't go out and buy anything for the truck today....

 

They take getting used to, to open.
Safety part of them so the hook doesn't open

 

Do we have any plumbers on here? I'm adding some water filters to my home and need to go from 1.25" pex from my well to 1" inlet on my filters. Home Depot etc. don't have anything 1.25" and very little 1". Any suggestions where to get plumbing supplies like this?

 

Same dude!

 

Hey man go see the guy at Norval plumbing. Guy there knows like everything

 

...want a nice DJI mavic air? Used a few times, never crashed though

 

Next plumbing supply or Nobel trade.

I've picked up a lot from the two when doing renovations.

 

Why is a hook needed at all? Just put a D-ring shackle thru the rope eyelet.

 

Thanks @Canadianguy91 & @Joe23 , I'll give them a call. Norval is closer so hopefully they've got what I need.

 

Good deal. Only annoyance is that GoPro intentionally made many accessories (for external power, etc.) incompatible with the Silver and White models, to funnel customers to the pricier Black model.

 

it could get pulled into the winch then if you dont keep the dring on it all the time. And i use soft shackles.

 

Flick the lever up towards the chain/cable.

 

Hmm yeah, good question...

What Joe said...

Then if there is nothing securing the cable it may loosen enough to hang down and catch on something...

TBH my thought process was;
that I hated the hook sticking out the front when it was pulled in tight,
won't sit flush on the hawse without rattling or scratching something,
looked too "hey look at me" hanging off one of the front D-rings,
The hook is really heavy and pretty strong,
I'd rather have really strong and pretty heavy.
The hook also tempts me to take "shortcuts" to haul on something vs properly rigging it up.

I wanted something discreet/sit-flat that was strong, reliable and relatively cheep.

Plus I've seen a hook come out on a heavy lift before...
It took the helmet right off one of my guys head, just brushed his scalp,
Hook was nicely through the helmet holding it.
Made about a 1.5" hole.
That kinda made us all pause for a moment...

 

You have two D-ring shackles on your bumper. Just put the rope eyelet thru one of them. Hell, depending on the recovery situation you might not even need to undo the shackle - just pull the rope out and loop it around a snatch block.

 

Yes
