this is what happened to mine while jacking it up from the tow hook

That would probably happen with any other tow hook too

I've got Benen tow hooks, and I've used the rear one as a jacking point a few times with no problems.

Tow hooks are not made to take vertical loads only horizontal ones, lifting half a car on some 3mm steel <10mm wide is never going to end well.

Never seen someone jack their car from the tow hook before. :shock:

Sidefusers look great. :mrgreen:

Tow hooks are ment to be one of the stronger points of a car

Yes, for TOWING (horizontal movements). It will fail if you are putting approx 500kgs (half the cars weight) onto a point a few centimetres wide.

I jack my car up by the tow hooks all the time and do so at work and I've never seen anything like that happen

Luck. I would never put any part of my body under there.
In all my years of hanging around workshops, watching motorsport, I've never seen anyone use the towhooks to jack.
