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 size in order to sell them? They appear to be brand new. One assumes that they are rated at 5+ tons..but I dont want to over rate them Gunner -- "If I say two plus two is four and a Democrat says two plus two is eight, it's not a partial victory for me when we agree that two plus two is six.

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. Cheers! Rich |

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?

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". i |
