You're not going to "straighten out" the one I have posted above.

I use that type specifically because of experience/confidence gained from on "the farm" use with these.

I can assure you...we have tested them...and I don't mean "steady pulling".

We have jerked on these things with log skidders, big 4X4 tractors, dozers, dump trucks....you name it.

Now...I have no doubt.. some "made in China" undersized clevis/shackle can be overworked and then your advice to use the screw type becomes applicable.

But, I promise you...you'll tear something else up before this one fails (the black one).
