RRI RD Millenium Hooker II Lifting Strap

User Review #7 Source: Bodybuilding.com by joe4liberty on January 2nd, 2013 at 5:45 PM CST

I have used the Hooker II for about 10 years. after about 4-5 years they came apart at the seams. With that said, I covered them with duct tape and have been using them that way for 5-6 years. The nylon strap that holds the internal hook in place is TOUGH, and has never let the hook come loose, it's the outside sheath that is weak and sucks and thus prone to coming apart at the seams - literally. With that said, these hooks simply fit my hand like a glove, and I like the small hook over the wide hook of the origionals, because I like to be able to "feel" the bar while lifting, which I cannot do with the origionals (personal preference). I have to admit, I was downright excited to find them on this site, and I just ordered a new pair. I have not used the other brands so I cannot compare these to them, but if the fact that I am buying a new pair is any testimony, there you have it... My only s****estion to the company is to use stronger thread.

The right hook tore from the wrapping about a month after I bought them. Very poor construction in my opinion.

These lifting hooks didn't even last me two weeks. The material sucks and the hooks ripped. Poor quality.
