Hihaha universal tow hook ring – 19cm, black
This tow hook ring is a tidy, no-nonsense bit of kit for when you need a tow. Made from metal with a smart black finish and measuring 19cm, it sits neatly on the front bumper without looking out of place. If the worst happens on a rainy lane or the car won’t start while you’re at the shops, this gives a straightforward way to recover or move the vehicle without faffing about.
what it is
A rotary tow hook ring that screws straight into the vehicle’s tow point. It gives a secure anchor for towing straps, recovery ropes or shackles. The ring helps guide the rope or strap and keeps the load off the bumper surface, cutting down on scuffs and paint wear.
why it’s useful
When a car needs moving, this stops you relying on improvised fixes. No more digging out rope and looping it awkwardly around fragile bits — you get a solid, tested connection point. That’s especially handy in winter or when the roads are muddy: quicker recoveries, less stress and a lower chance of accidental damage.
- Simple screw-on fit – ideal if you want to install quickly without specialised tools.
- Durable metal build – made to cope with regular use and give dependable strength.
- Universal compatibility – suits many cars, SUVs and light trucks, including a number of BMW models (always check thread size and fixings first).
- Compact and lightweight – easy to stow in the boot when not in use.
specifications and practical notes
Material: Metal. Colour: Black. Length: 19cm. Thread size: 2.5mm (listed by the manufacturer). Item weight: approximately 390g. Package includes 1 tow hook ring. Due to manual measurement, a size deviation of about 1–2cm may occur — it’s worth double-checking the thread and towing point on your vehicle before buying.
installation and compatibility
Installation is a straightforward screw-on to the vehicle’s tow eye or dedicated mounting point: screw it in, tighten securely and you’re good to go. Some vehicles use different thread sizes or captive tow eyes, so check your vehicle handbook or the tow eye cover for details. If in doubt, have a look at the tow point on your car first — better to check than assume.
common uses and scenarios
- Recovering a stalled car from the hard shoulder or driveway.
- Moving a vehicle short distances without engaging the gearbox.
- Use with recovery straps or chains when assisting another driver.
- A handy bit of kit for drivers who tow trailers, caravans or simply want an easy recovery point.
If you’re wondering whether this will work with a completely broken tow eye or an unusual mounting point, check the fit and thread carefully and consult a mechanic if needed. Overall, it’s a small, affordable piece of kit that makes towing simpler and reduces the risk of damage to bumpers and bodywork — good to have in the boot for peace of mind.
