🔍 Key Concepts

• Towing gear safety and what happens if a connection fails under strain • Differences between hooks and shackles for permanent or semi‑permanent connections • Why pin design (round pin vs screw pin) matters when gear is repeatedly worked, backed, and slackened under tow loads

💭 Think About

• Think about which fitting is least likely to come apart accidentally if the line goes slack and then comes tight again during towing. • Consider which option is most commonly approved and recommended in towing operations for critical tow connections, not just for light or temporary use. • Ask yourself: if the tow suddenly surges or snatches, which device is best at keeping the connection secure while still being practical to inspect and maintain?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that can easily jump out or unhook if the line goes slack or gets jarred. • Compare how securely the pin is held in place in a round pin shackle versus a screw pin shackle. • Remember that for towing, you want fittings that are designed for sustained heavy load and shock loading, not just ease of quick connection.
