I bought two of these with one grab hook and one slip hook. I measured both chains and both of them are 9'10" long without the hooks. That means it is one link too short. Not a big deal, but attention to detail indicates to me the honesty and integrity of the seller and the products.Also, the hooks are not attached to the chain. If your arrived just as you were leaving for an off-road excursion and expected to be able to us these to extract your 4x4, then you would be disappointed. It is always wise to check your gear, but sometimes work, family, friends and life get in the way of our fun.I ordered the style of one grab hook and one slip hook. I found that the slip hook uses a thinner cotter pin than the grab hook. I could bend the thinner one with my arthritic fingers. I could barely budge the grab hook cotter pin. Interesting how companies save money.As a former automobile mechanic, a sailor on a nuclear power submarine and other technical jobs, let me share this knowledge with you. Do not reuse cotter pins. Work hardening of the metal, especially if it has been done repeated times, can cause the cotter pin to break or fail completely. A piece of metal in your wheel bearings is damaging and a failed cotter pin could be deadly. It is rare, but I have seen it happen. A box of cotter pins of different sizes can be obtained for very little money. The Chinese made cotter pins seem to be especially brittle, so stick to this rule. A hook that falls of under thoundsands of pounds of load that fails could be fatal.
