S-hooks loop into a hanging chain or length of rope in order to hang baskets, overhead lighting, and other light-duty home and office applications. To create a more secure hanging point, these S-hooks come with a provided clip. Used in lifting, the s-hook can be looped into rope or chain. The s-shape makes attaching and removal of the hook easy. The shape also adds to its strength to distribute weight evenly on both hooks. If you're interested in these S-Hooks you might also want to consider 1/4" Turnbuckles!
