A latch ensures rope, chain, and fittings won't separate from the hook when the load slackens. The hook opening accommodates large anchor points and allows chain to move freely through the closed hook.

Insert in eyes, links, rings, and other connectors with small openings. Also known as J-hooks.

These have a latch that locks closed when a load is applied for a more secure connection than standard hooks. They rotate for easy positioning before a load is applied.

Use these on thick molds, castings, and objects that don't have attachment points. Also known as foundry hooks.

A spring-loaded pin ensures chain won't separate from the hook when the load slackens. Connect your chain to the eye end.
