P500 Hammerlock coupling links

[waynester]

Would these be safe using correct or close fitting linchpin / receiver hitch pin or even high grade bolt/ wing nut? I'd rather skip the hammering.

Several sizes available, also for linking chains. Apparently useful to Ford trk owners with oval safety chain slots

Hell yeah! I usually use a D ring on my SD hitch. might get me some of those instead. Kinda thought they might be for something like that.
thanks for posting.
they might be handy on a sxs as well

What are you trying to accomplish?
These are commonly used on Ford trucks as stated above. The hitches suck for using trailer chains.

? Commonly used, but they suck? I don't understand. If they suck why commonly used? NO Bashing , just curious

We use them on our safety chains at work

Have you found them to be of use in wheeling? A quick connect would be useful, but not so a semi permanent hammering connect

The ford truck hitches suck for attaching safety chains.

Guys attach the hammer locks to make hooking up easier. Install once and forget about them .

Use a soft shackle or standard steel u shackle for connecting to the machine.

No I personally don't see a use for riding but they are very good for their intended purpose.

^^^^This^^^^. I use a hard shackle I have unlimited access at work from the smallest to some you don't want to lift.

Mostly learning and exploring items I might facepalm myself for not having , after the fact . I learn more by picking you members experienced brains then picking any part of myself.

I've seen them used in mining applications. If they get water and mud in them that hammer lock will rust and the only way you can remove the pin is with a torch.

OK, Very good point. Thanks

Chevy's have the same problem. 2 1/2" receiver but chain loops that can't be used as is. Went through several shackles to eventually find the right size. Not that I ever will but they can be easily removed.
