FACTOR 55 - WORLDS SAFEST WINCH HOOK 

I love the way it looks on your jeep. It’s such a clean look.

Happy Fourth! Good video, pretty sure everyone knows all about the factor 55 products but another video never hurts

Looks good. I have the prolink version, also in red and love it. I just ordered the Factor 55 fairlead so should be fitted on next week.

Heck yeah, love my F55 fairlead and Prolink!

Your ride is so sick I love it God bless you and have a good Fourth of July brother from West Texas

Great video ben!

Great video I've been wanting one for a while.

Great video by the way!

I have the ProLink by Factor55. Their products are definitely safer as a closed system than an open winch hook or even a standard hook with a spring closure.

thanks for the explanation!

I use just a shackle or soft shackle, less weight but I also use steel cable keeps bystanders and armchair spotters away.

So I’m a newbie to winching so still learning. Not trying to dig on f55 ( I will likely get the flat link) but how is this better than using something like a vanbeest bolt anchor super shackle for $47 that is already a shackle so could work by itself rather than a f55 plus a bow shackle? Or why not put something easily removable where the hook goes for storage, but then replace it with a soft shackle when you need to use it? Thanks.

When tightening up the bolt for D ring do you get all the way hand tight and then back it off a 1/2 turn?

How critical is the rope guard they sell? I don’t see you have it on so wondering if I need it

I love everything on your rig... i want everything.

Can you add the safe rope grab on that one, also what about theft prevention on it?

I run Factor55 Flat Link (closed winching systems) on both my JK's. Awesome products!

Just bought one!

You have sunpie headlights correct? I like my sunpies but was thinking of going to a projector style. What does your output look like. Sharp/ crisp? Mine are like flood lights with great output but not so great on those wet days. And the snow cakes on there bad.

What D hooks are you using? Thanks.

May I ask why you went with a fairlead instead of the usual roller block?

Soft shackle?

Nice shirt, where did you get it?

Factor 55 is all about safety. Why not just use a soft shackle instead and then you have even less metal on the line? Just wondering.

3 years later and I still found this vid useful. I have a f55 link on my winch too and was just needing a quick verification on how to set the link up for winching. Harbor Freight D rings here we go!!!!!

Is that remote only for the Warn winch if not can you offer a link please? Thanks

I have a dumb question, never towed anything. Situation, someones car is stuck, how would you attach it to the frame of the car if it has no rope or shackle? Should I stock rope in my 4runner?

I appreciate your vids man. im 23 and just bought my first jeep! Riding on a super budget, ideas for best bang for your buck upgrades? Winches and bumpers are so expensive :(

That’s the rope on front of the Jeep

Go team rugged OIIIIIIIO

its not a winch hook its a shackle mount.

I think a good bow shackle at a the end of the winch is cheaper and better in almost every category. I just think the idea of joining the factor 55 to the winch to the shackle is just unnecessary.

$150 as compared to a $5 hook... Not that expensive???? Sure they are cool and all but thats a lot of money for a chunk of aluminum with 2 holes!

Seems like you could just use the D shackle you attached to factor 55

I just don't see the point. If anything those are a downgrade over a good hook since you have to mess with schackels. I feel this is one of those thing where people just wanna "upgrade" for the sake of "upgrading". If winches came with flatlinks everyone would be "upgrading" to hooks. I do think that the hooks that come with the winches generally are a bit small, so i just bought a rated hook for professional use on heavy machinery and cranes. They are pretty inexpensive. Also the fact that i've never seen a "flatlink" on heavy equipment like bulldozers, tractors or cranes makes me think they are just another "i wanna be different-item" for the 4wd market. I don't mean to be rude about it, i just really think that's how it is.

That is nothing more than an overpriced shackle.

Factor 55 = Bumper Jewelry Better to learn safe recovery techniques and equipment than be fooled by shiny finish.

Cool, but not a $130 cool, its a hook should not cost 1/4 price of a winch
