That's entirely subjective since I consider a "cleaner look" not having nipple rings hanging off the back of my truck 24/7.2x the load limit and cleaner look
I never thought of my my shackles as comparible to nipple rings. That made me laugh!That's entirely subjective since I consider a "cleaner look" not having nipple rings hanging off the back of my truck 24/7.
Either works fine I just like the option of taking stuff off and putting away when not in use. ?
How about zip ties? You can fix anything with those

you are correct sir. forgive my ignoranceYou are incorrect. You forgot the required duct tape.
Can't fix anything without duct tape.
But seriously, just to add to the discussion about bow shackles vs hammerlocks. Shackles aren't necessarily rated for "shock" loads but rather static loads with hoisting and rigging. If used with a kinetic rope for recovery they are probably safe but I can't speak to safety chain use. I've used them in vehicle recovery and placed a significant shock on them when used with a tow strap (not advised) and had no problems but then again I wasn't hauling a 10k lb trailer at 65 mph down the highway. Can't be any less safe than a regular hook with a rod and cotter pin holding it all together. I've not run into hook issues with the trailers I've towed so far but I think I would lean toward the bow shackle for convenience despite everything I just said above. I don't like the idea of having hammerlocks swinging back there all the time. They'll get in the way of my truck nuts
I purchased Stainless ones at Lowes that work great.What hammerlocks is everyone using?

Has to do with DOT regulation and the size of hooks for certain capacity trailers. Having a CDL the officers are always telling me I should know this!! I can't keep up I themNot to kick a dead horse, but I just hooked up my ATV/Utility trailer for the first time.
Holy crap! WTF were they thinking? Hammerlocks, here I come. Or shackles. Or something. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Sorry. I just had to get that out.
