UHO: S Hook

This piece of hardware is named after its shape and therefore called an "s hook."  The form provides a hook on either end making it easy to attach and remove when needed.  It can be hooked onto a chain, around a rope, or even at the end of a bungee cord.  The shape does well at distributing weight therefore it is most commonly used for suspension and tension purposes.  An example would be in order to suspend a swinging chair you might use this hook to connect chains from the chair to the ceiling.  The ends of the hook can be clamped down by using pliers in order to ensure it will not detach from what it is hooked to.  It can be found in a variation of forms as well as many different sizes.
