I have just checked and they are 4.6 which would make them a low tensile bolt ,
and before people say that 4.6 low tensile bolt is not srong enough,
I have four of these hooks fitted to my offroader . and they have held up fine , they get treated alot rougher than if you were towing a subaru out and I am yet to snap and hook or bolt

As a matter of fact I have never seen a bolt anywhere on a car, LGV, PSV or articulated trailer used with less than a tensile strength of 8.8 used in any application.

they were sold too me as genuine, but i'm not 100% sure , as some people say they should have unique serial numbers ,
they are not from china , they were bought from US and have the import invoice to prove ,
they are very good quality etc.. check my feedback if your not sure

give the man a chance he said he,d accept returns if your not happy and is being as honest as possible by the sounds of it and im sure you can get better bolts cheap enough if your that bothered. like it has been said how often you planning on been towed? besides whats wrong with the standard tow eye,s? your probably only buying one of these as a fashion accessory anyway lol

[quote=addi monster;10650289]zippy this guy was also selling blox fake nuts which stripped the threads before they even reached the correct torque setting, now that to me is fecking dangerouse mate so i feel all the bad comments on here are valid and the sn comunity deserve to know they are buying fake tat [/quote
i agree if they are fake people have a right to know just seemed like people were having a pop at the guy when he seemed to be answering the questions pretty honestly in my opinion but if selling things that are dangerous fair comment

Slightly concerned if these are fakes as I bought a pair of tow hooks. The quality does look good but does that mean anything.
Jeff I think you need to contact your supplier & then give a definate answer as to wether these are fake or not.
