Hihaha tow hook ring – universal front bumper towing hook
This rotating tow hook ring is a no-nonsense, sturdy solution when you need a tow. Made from metal with a smart silver finish, it gives a dependable connection for recovery or towing jobs. Although it’s often used on BMWs, it’s designed to suit a wide range of cars, SUVs and light trucks — the sort of bit of kit you’ll be glad to have in the boot when things go pear-shaped.
Features and benefits
- Robust metal construction for genuine strength during towing and recovery — no faffing about with flimsy fittings.
- Rotating ring helps line up a rope or strap neatly, cutting down awkward angles while you haul.
- Overall length of 18.5cm gives a useful reach from the bumper mounting point.
- 3mm thread size for a straightforward screw-on fit to compatible tow-eye threads — quick to attach and remove.

How to fit
Fitting is dead simple: pop out the tow-eye cover on the bumper (if fitted), screw the tow hook into the threaded hole until secure, and you’re off. You won’t usually need special tools, though it’s sensible to check your vehicle handbook to confirm thread size and recommended torque. Easy to do at the roadside, in the garage or in the drive — saves wasting time when you need to move quickly.
Typical uses
- Emergency vehicle recovery after a breakdown or accident.
- Towing a vehicle onto a trailer or flatbed for transport.

It’s worth double-checking your vehicle’s tow-eye thread compatibility before ordering — a bit of homework saves a wasted trip. Bear in mind this tow hook gives a reliable towing point for recovery and transport, but it’s not a substitute for proper lifting gear. If you’re unsure about fitment or safe use, consult the vehicle handbook or ask a mechanic. All told, it’s a handy, sensible bit of kit to keep in the boot for peace of mind.
