Since the Curt S-Hook with Wire Keeper for Safety Chains and Cables, part # C81820 is made of 7/16 inch diameter zinc coated steel, I recommend using something like a vise or channel locks if available to crimp the end around your safety chains. If you do not have one at your disposal, you might consider taking it to your local garage or mechanic. They will likely have the equipment needed to get this s-hook attached to your safety chains.

This S-hook is made of SAE Class lll steel and has a weight capacity of 5000 lbs.
