I've seen pics of Tony's hook before, but couldn't find it on his website. So, I took the easiest route and ordered the one on eBay (which I also thought looked a little better).

Yeah but since the TC Design hook doesn't look good, I'd rather use the one in the toolkit.

Anyone get their money back from Delsa Motorsports?

I sent mine back, per his instructions for a full refund, over 2 weeks ago and I haven't gotten any money and now there's no responses to my e-mails. Doh!

Returned my hooks on Friday so too early to tell. I have sent the hooks to an address in Taiwan after a couple of days waiting for Delsa Mororsports to provide me the address, for which they excused themselves for.

If no refund, we can report them to ebay with copy of message instructing us to return the hooks.

Ciao,

I left negative feedback on eBay.

Johannes, you might want to think about doing the same if you get treated the same way as me.

anyone who payed by paypal using their credit card should just call visa and have them charge it back. Best way to make sure u get ur money. Give them till a weekday and if they don't do it that day, chargeback time.

I need a hook hopefully only for hooking to the winch on the trailer. In reading this thread it looks like the only folding hook out there that works is from tcdesignfab.com. Is that correct or are there others? Too bad the Delsa one doesn't work, it's a nice looking piece.
