Nearly all of these people have the hooks fitted the wrong way around , they are relying on the retainer to hold the chain into the hook .

« Last post by duggie on July 01, 2025, 06:18:56 AM »What’s with everybody fitting bright yellow hammerlocks and lifting hooks to their tow bars these days? Swinging around like a set of balls. You used to only see them on tradie utes, now they are everywhere. Is this the new version of fluffy dice hanging from the rearview mirror?
