I like Factor 55 products. I like that it is American made. I do not like that this does not come in matching colors to match the $300 Ultra Hook. I do not like that I had to use a punch and drive in the rivets and missed once and made a nice gouge in it. For the $55, I would prefer it be an option on the Ultra Hook and come already installed in my color choice.

This can save your and others lives, it protects your recovery rope. If you need recovery gear that is robust and fit for purpose, go no further. Do your homework and you will find no better gear!!

You will not find out about the need for this tool until you receive it. Also, once you rivet in in place it it set until you forcefully remove the rivets. They should have designed this to use screws instead of rivets.

Looks like it will be a fine product. Exactly as advertised. I like that it came with an extra decal so you could match the orientation to the writing on the hook. Although, Factor 55 could have saved a few cents by not attaching the decal in the first place. Be prepared for a little tedious work installing the rivets. I tried 1/4” punch but I felt more comfortable with a 5/16”. The beveled face of the UltraHook makes the task a little awkward, but not impossible. I think I’d rather see the holes threaded and screws included. Once properly installed, this thing isn’t going anywhere. It is now permanently part of hook short of drilling the rivets out and probably damaging the hook itself.

It is a little tricky to try and get installed. But when done it works good and looks good

A great addition to your Factor 55 ULTRAHOOK. Follow the instructions and have their recommended 1/4" pin punch on had to install the rivets. I had no issues installing them as many others have posted in their reviews. I think where they are getting hung up is that they aren't aligning the pin punch 100% with the rivet stud. If you don't do this, you will start hammering the pins in crooked and they won't go in all the way. Take your time, work on one at a time and keep the pin aligned!

While this is not needed nor required, it at least looks good. Be careful with installing the rivets. I used a towel on the concrete floor, a punch, and good hammer to knock them down. You would hate to ruin such a gorgeous finish. Looks great!

Super easy to install with hammer rivets that are supplied with the rope guard. This will save your hinge point on your Factor55 hook.
