Can anyone compare these to Boyle or Bates hooks in terms of the "hook"?

I like Boye hooks because of the pointed head. Bates are kind of square and not good for small stitches. Use what with you are comfortable with.

The hooks on mine are metal, however the item I see pictured here is different from the item I purchased and reviewed. I am unsure why that is. I also posted a picture with my review of the item that I no longer have access to and is no longer here for some reason. My apologies I am a little confused as to why that is!! I am not sure this is the same item!

None at all. My tacoma has hooks. If there wasn't any they would still be ok because of the custom fit

Hi ConnieYou can try these (http://amzn.com/B001L5U29W) since they're water resistant, but I'm not sure if they're the exact replacements for these hooks. Hope that helps.

That's funny. They are definitely not 1.6 x 4.2 x 6.1 inches. More along the lines of the smaller dimensions. These are mediums. I know command makes large hooks. Could be the dimensions for large hooks listed on the medium description page.

Yes. You will have to open one end of the hook with pliers or the like. But you should be able to get them off with minimal effort.

The hooks do have spring loaded latches that prevent the hook from coming loose. I don't know if they're made in the USA, but I can tell you that the quality seems very good and the crimps look well done. I would recommend these cables as being lightweight and more user-friendly option than chains.

They are very light so I would just get the Scotch Tape hooks. These are easy to put up and take down when you want to move them!

Yes. I have 3 currently hanging from the heavy duty hooks. They work very well.

Yes the hook is standard size. The body of the hanger is child size. Hope this helps.

I have had 90 lbs on each hook and they do not show any remote sign of failing. I have heard these can hold well over 100 lbs each and probably even double that to be honest. Unless you're throwing weights and pressing over 200 lb dumbells like Spoto I wouldn't even worry about these hooks failing at all.

I don't have the soft touch, but by visually comparing the two, I'd go for the Soft Touch if you knife hold. The handle is a more uniform size overall to fit your palm in a comfortable hold without slop. These Amours are tapered ridiculously narrow and are not all the same handle size. The smaller mm hooks have smaller overall diameter handles. The actual hooks are a modified Boye, and not as good as Susan Bates. To make them work for me, I added some gel pencil/pen grips for a decent handle diameter all the length of the handle. If you want something truly beautiful and comfortable, go to Etsy PolymerClayShed and order either Boye or Susan Bates hooks with polymer handles. The diameter is just right and still lightweight. Delicious to hold and visually enjoy.

Hello, Maybe I can help. The hook was introduced by Victorinox in their larger knives in 1991. This hook has been wrongly described many times as a "parcel hook", A 'plastic-shopping bag carrier", lock-pick, nose picker, etc. The true reason for the hook ? It was simply added to help with the losening , and tighting of wet, and\or frozen boot laces, backpack straps, snow shoe bindings, or any wet or frozen knots in any outdoor cordage. After all, the good folks at Victorinox that desighn these wonderful tools, live in the Alps, and they had a need for it. And boy, does it do a great job for it's intended use! I hope that this small tid-bit of information helps clear up the question's concerning the useful "hook."

No they are not, but you can use any other hooks that would fit so that´s no problem.

I wish I could tell you. The hooks I received were the "L" shaped ones; not the ones pictured here (as I expected).
