I welded this double hook from two Harbor Freight grab hooks and a
1/4" steel plate. The purpose of it is to let me use arbitrary lengths
of chain, single and two ends, when lifting stuff, as well as grab to
access lifting eyes with just a piece of chain (see last

Boy did you catch hell. I assume you know to never get under a lift.
