Wichard Stainless Steel Chain Grip Hook

Wichard's Chain Grip Hook ensures safe anchoring by transferring the tension on an anchor chain to a line on the hook that is then cleated off. This protects your windlass at anchor or underway because the hook has the load. By attaching the hook to the chain and cleating off the line on the hook it reduces the chafe on a rub rail and roller chock.

Features:

• Simple one piece design with no moving parts
• Ensures a safe anchoring by easing the tension on the anchor chain
• Protects a boat by reducing the chafe of the chain on a rub rail and roller chock
• Optimized to avoid accidental release of the chain
• Duplex stainless steel construction for increased mechanical and corrosion resistance
• Positions between two links of chain for single handed operation
• Rope may be tied on, luggage tagged or spliced
• Made in France
