Screw Hook - Open (#2)

An open screw hook, size 2. It is one of the simplest fixings there is - a threaded shank and an open curve - and it earns its place because an open hook lets something be lifted off rather than threaded through, which closed hooks and eyes do not. Screwed into timber directly, or into a wall plug in masonry, it hangs tools and cables in a workshop, pots and utensils in a kitchen, keys and bags behind a door, plants and lanterns on a verandah, and rope, chain or netting on a fence or gate. Drive it with a bar or screwdriver through the curve for the last turns rather than by hand. What the size 2 measures is not recorded in our catalogue, so match it against the load at the counter.
