Multi Factor 55 closed system winching

[Neohio]

Has anyone looked into changing out the hook on their winch to something along the lines of ProLink XTV – Factor 55

I am getting tired of the latch on my winch hook constantly bending and fighting with it to remove shackles.
The only downside I see to going with one of their UTV rated models, is all my shackles will need to be replaced. The hole diameter is smaller. This isn't a deal breaker for me, I hope to buy some 5/15 or 3/8 dyneema line and make my own soft shackles.

So, in the end, would you upgrade your hook to one of their products? Or is it just "bling" to you?

I really like the Factor 55 design but I've never read a real world review and I havent justified this price to myself with just a photo. I did lose 2 shackles and a hook on my last ride though... Doh.

Hit them up as a potential sponsor for next year?

I have a line saver on my winch currently. Just tired of fighting the latch on my hook everytime I use it.

I got tired of that as well. Switched to warn premium 92089 and haven't had issues yet with it
