There is a lot of hate on these comment threads. Factor55 guys, keep doing what you are doing. You are making the wheeling world better, recovery safer and at the same time saving us money on fuel with your stronger, lighter, rust proof components. You are improving what was farm equipment for use in the age of technology. It seems not everyone understands the complexities you have to manage or the technological advantages of your products. I appreciate all your innovations. Keep them coming.
The rope eye from my Warn Zeon 10-S wouldn't fit into the Pro-Link 55. I'm using the factory rope supplied by Warn. I had to beat on it with a heavy hammer to enable it to fit. Removing and installing the snap ring was easy, once I found a snap ring plier that was small enough to fit into the tiny snap ring. I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks ok, although it kinda makes the jeep look like it's sucking on a chupon (pacifier) LOL.
I like your stuff, I'll buy your stuff, but using a hook doesn't preclude using a proper shackle, hooking synthetic choker eyes into the hook fouling the gate is dumb. Aerospace engineers know that. You make first class stuff, you don't have to over sell it.
What’s the weight of this thing? Standard hook looks way lighter than this. in the event that something breaks there is something lighter flying towards your vehicle or you. I like the idea, but there is too many parts that can break in comparison to traditional hook or a rope with loop on the end.
