How many of you guys use "S" hooks on your safety chains? I had some pretty beefy "S" hooks straighten out like they weren't even there when I was hauling a heavy load of dirt 'bout 5 years ago and had a tongue failure (metal fatigue). Just damn lucky to be here as the jerking trailer cause me to veer into the opposite lane as I was regaining control and before the trailer went off to the side of the road. I've since replaced all of my trailers' safety chain "S" hooks with "O" type connections that screw together. DO IT...I learned the hard way but with no major damage....YMMV.
