Single J hook

Simple design: The design of the single hook is relatively simple, with only one hook, making it easy to use and understand.

Wide applicability: Due to its simple design, the single butyl hook is suitable for a variety of towing and towing scenarios.

Smaller size: The structure of a single hook is usually more compact, which helps to operate in a limited space

Double J hook

Multiple connection points: The double-row hook has two hooks, allowing the rope to be connected in more locations, and providing more flexibility and firmness.

More stable connection: Since there are two connection points, a double-row hook may provide a more stable connection than a single hook in some cases.

Suitable for large vehicles: In situations where additional support is required or where connection requirements are higher, double-row hooks may be more suitable for towing large and heavy vehicles.

Swivel J hook

Flexibility: The rotary hook design has the characteristics of rotation, which makes the connection more flexible and can adapt to the connection needs of various angles and directions. This flexibility makes it more convenient during installation and use.

Reduce twisting and entanglement: Since rotary hooks can rotate freely, they can effectively reduce the twisting and entanglement caused by the rope or chain during use. This reduces the risk of accidental damage and increases service life.

Easy to operate: Swivel hooks usually have a simple design and are easy to operate. Simply insert it into the connection point and twist it to complete the connection quickly and safely, saving time and effort.

Increased safety: Since swiveling hooks can rotate freely, they reduce stress concentration when subjected to pressure or tension, thereby reducing the risk of accidental breakage or detachment and improving work safety.

When choosing hooks, you need to consider the specific use scenario, the type of vehicle being towed, and the required connection strength.
