Handy Chain Hook-Up Device

I attach the chain hook to the hook on the hoist, and attach the grab hook to the chain securing the load. It fits tightly onto the chain. For example, I recently used the device to lift a riding mower deck into the back of my pickup.
I use the same idea when pulling out brush in the field with my tractor and a log chain. I made two sets of hooks so I can hook up more than one brush puller to the chain at a time. The grab hook keeps the load from shifting on the chain.
The photos show two different ways I made the hooks.
