92090 Epic 3/8" Steel Winch Hook: 6 Ton (12,000 lb) Capacity , Black

This hook was purchased to replace the standard, silver hook shipping with my WARN Zeon 12 winch. It's a substantial improvement in several ways: The throat is larger allowing easier placement of tree straps or other items; the gate is heavier-duty than the thin, comparatively fragile gate of the original hook, and the over all size and heft is substantially greater as well. For the money, especially compared to other, far more elaborate and expensive options - it's a no brainer. Added bonus, it looks great on the front of your rig. This hook is a great value, highly functional and superb looking.

30 years ago when I started wheeling, we didn't have all the different options that we have today. Now, there's all sorts of different things you can attach to the end of your winch line, but to me, they just seem like the answer to a question nobody asked. When I get stuck, I don't want to have to get out an extra shackle or other technical items in order to make a "correct" and "properly engineered" connection. I don't want to have to take off my gloves or risk dropping shackle pins in the mud and losing them. All I want to do is hook up quickly, simply, and safely so I can start my pull. What I need is a big fat sturdy hook with a wide opening on the end of my winch line and that's what this is. I'm not bashing the other stuff. I'm sure it's good and strong and I can certainly appreciate the engineering that went into it. But for me, quick and simple just makes more sense. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

So far so good. Was a little worried about size but fits on my synthetic line on the rock buggy just fine. No pulls on it yet but looks beefy enough to handle it. Others mentioned markings "made In china" but have not seen that on mine. Price is a little steep but anything for 4x4 or winch stuff is not cheap. Also, quality looks pretty good, mine did look like the picture.

When I received the product I was so surprised to see how awesome the product was. The description and look online did not give it justice. It was super easy to install and looks great on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator.

I've bought 3 of these so far. Love this hook. Very safe to use with it's positive safety latch. I have a Factor 55 on my jeep and honestly I don't like it. This hook is a fraction of the cost and works as well.

Great winch hook, typical Warn product. I am sold on Warn winches. They are one of the few great American companies! I do not know why everyone makes a comment about products made in China. A vast number of great products are made in China and have been for over 50 years; most people just did not know, Some of the best power tools are made in Korea. We just do not like to admit that American companies have dropped the ball. It is not American workers; it is the American corporations!

It's hard to review something like this right after you get it. It should last for years, almost forever, and without using it a lot it's impossible to say how it will hold up. It looks to be strong and sturdy, well designed. I especially like the heavy-duty safety latch, it looks much stronger than the typical stamped sheet metal ones. However the finish on it is NOT up to Warn standards-it looks poorly applied and uneven.

Great product. I also used the "uxcell Box Cabinet Showcase 22mm Width Metal Mini Padlock" on Amazon to secure the hook in place and maybe slow down any would be thieves. The lock fits perfectly and highly suggest using it. Doesnt even look that bad, almost not even noticeable
