Factor-55 Ultrahook - Lets Talk About It 

20% off a S-Tech switch system with the code JKGG20. stechswitch.com. Stay tuned for the install/review video

The comment regarding “running out of mods” was 100% honest and that is not all that common. Most of the You-Tube vids imply the concept that A) you have to get this. It could be life or death. Or B) you don’t want to be the only guy on the trail who doesn’t have this. Production was great as always and the candid comments were well taken.

That's the exact reason I bought my Ultrahook, kinda just ran out of things to upgrade without spending stupid money, like motor swaps and what not. Love the look and functions of the Ultrahook.

Good video!! I love your yard! I can smell those trees through the video (until it got dark out).

As always good advise.I appreciate your knowledge.

I have the ultra hook, it’s a little pricy but it truly is the best if the best 2 way hook out there, period!

It's okay if there's a lot of info, that's no problem. As a positive criticism though, I would suggest making a list of the positives and negatives and displaying all of them on the screen at the very beginning. This way, if I get distracted, I can make sure I get all of your points. Personally, I went with the FlatLink because I can carry my regular (Bandland Apex) hook with me if I absolutely need it. With the FlatLink, I can use any of my (multiple size) bow shackles with either the pin or bow, in a closed system setup. Both have their positives & negatives, but I highly doubt there will be any situation where I can't use any 3 sizes of my bow shackles, in either orientation. 3 sizes, each being able to be used in either bow or pin orientation, that's 6 different configurations with just my bow shackles. Awesome video! Just thought I would give my 2 cents why I went with the FlatLink. Oh, and I carry multiple soft shackles as a last resort lol.

I don’t have a wench yet but good info and thumbs up

Awesome vid dude!! 👍

I was so lucky my wife won my factor hook yet to put it on !! But great system ,also looks great!! Waiting install it with my warn 10,000 winch with synthetic line ,,,,,,,that my wife also won haha she is the best!! ❤️👍👍 And sell my smitty built winch ......... Ben your the man love the videos!! I have get the line protector for factor hook !!

Great videos !

i honestly do think this is a great product, and you explain it well, but ill never pay that price!!!

The best solution is no hook at all!

I prefer the prolink ,the price is much better and does just as good as flat link or ultra hook, the ultra hook just to bulky looking for me, I would go with flat link over those 2 but I still think the prolink better bang for your buck, I love mine

I have heard about this strange phenomenon that you speak of. Run out of Jeep mods? Huh... You know I consider this myth to be similar to a unicorn. It is just that... a myth. This phenomenon clearly does not exist in reality! Run out of Jeep mods... Hahaha.. I run the flat link. I like the closed winching. Just safer in my opinion. The only time it stinks is when you get yourself in a position with two people standing on your rock slider keeping you balanced from flopping while someone is trying to get you hooked up to winch yourself out of the situation. Then all of a sudden closed winching seems like a terrible idea! LOL

So did you have to beat the eyelet of your rope to make it fit the clevis of the ultra hook, like another video I've seen on this?

Anyone else count how many times he slapped that box?

I still like the pro link thimble, I'm sure the flat hook thing works fine but the chance of loosing that pin is very high, just like the price.

Is it possible to remove the ultrahook while securely fastened? Basically can someone easily and quickly steal it? This might be a dumb question but I’m not familiar with winch’s, however, I’m familiar with people stealing things off of my Jeep.

"My two year old daughter loves to grab stuff off the counter ,and throw it in the trash"..................I know the struggle!

What did you do with the old ones that you aren't using anymore?

Can you run that hook on a steel cable winch?

We do t need to cass already covered it lmao

how easy is it to be stolen?

How hard would it be for someone to steal it ?

Honestly to me, this item is right there with angry eye grills , lightbars, and other mall crawler things. I've never heard of a single winch hook failure and I've been doing hard core wheeling with many winch sessions for over 20 years. So I checked online a bit, and the ONLY stuff that even comes up under winch hook failures is advertisement videos for Factor 55...……. In my opinion they built a product and are just trying to come up with a reason why you need to buy it. When you don't.

I cannot justify spending that much money on something like that. I have never seen a standard hook fail. I have seen cable, chain and synthetic line break but never a hook.

Guess non wealthy people don't need to be safe when doing vehicle recovery.

So you’re saying to not have kids... Hahaha

Fucking tired of all these "reinvent the wheel" cash grabs.

A closed system is fine, but you don't need this ultrahook to do it. Just use a shackle, eg Eyelet-shackle-rope. Why spend $250 to go Eyelet-ultrahook-shackle-rope? Unless you are using the hook, in the ultrahook, which defeats the purpose of a closed system. This makes no sense to me. I'm ok with a good basic hook, then its just eyelet-hook-rope, which is faster imo. Maintain the hook like you should with everything on your rig, and you won't have any issues. Oh, and to say a hook isn't as strong, is wrong, you can get hooks that are rated for over 12,000lbs.

American made. So twice the price. Sad.

What a stupid waste of money. It’s a damn hook
