I dug out some biggish Yale and Towne ball bearing swivel lifting hooks.

I cannot find a weight capacity anywhere on them. How do I determine

They appear to be brand new. One assumes that they are rated at 5+
tons..but I dont want to over rate them

The only thing I can think of is to compare them to other hooks the same
size.

I cannot find the size of them and no other hooks look comparable. They
are actually..very well made.

Im missing one. I wonder if I gave it to Jon Anderson or somebody? Jon?


Or sell them "AS IS - NO WARRANTY!" If you make it perfectly clear that
they're "caveat emptor," you "should" be "off the hook" (pun originally
unintended, but left in because it's so cute) for any liability.

Indeed. I have to decide if Im selling them for cash only..or for "wall
hangers". I once sold a 45 ton punch press for cash as a "wall
hanger"..in writing.

When I sell safety equipment, I have buyers sign something like "they
will retain a qualified safety engineer to evaluate any application
involving this product".
