Very useful
These work well for buckets but I use them everywhere. I use them all the time for gate and stall closures. Just secure a chain at one end and hook the other end on the bucket holder. Haven't had a horse get one open yet.

I bought a couple of these. The first night the hook brook off scared my horse and lost the hook in the bedding taking a good hour to find it. The second lasted only 3 days and broke. Wasn't happy at all neither was my horses.

Great Quality and Excellent Service
I bought 48 of these hooks to replace the eye hooks that were being pulled out of the walls of the horse stalls. Great quality! Consistent welds, great finish and great price point!

practical for a lot of uses
I purchased a bunch of them - I use them on each stall outside door to hold the lead rope and halter for that horse ropes hang flat and snaps are always clean and handy halters hand over the top round just fine. Using these I never find ropes and halters on the ground. flat back buckets stay in place and clean as well.

Makes hanging buckets SO easy
We bought these for our farm upon recommendation of a friend. I am notorious for dumping water on myself when trying to clip a double ended snap on a screw eye, so these keep me dry.

Bye bye, double ended snaps!
I love that there are no double ended snaps to break or freeze when you use these hooks. They're easy for humans to operate but difficult for horses to mess with. Love 'em.

Great but...
I use these in my barn and i love them for one of my horse thats only 15.3 and doesn't have a big head and his nose doesn't hit the circle when he pulls his head up but when i put these hooks in my 16.2 horse stall every time he picks his head up his nose hits it. So i would recommend it for people with horses that are small or small head but not big horses

Much easier than a snap!
Much easier to use than a strap with snap on it. Can also determine your desired bucket height without having to worry about trying to shorten or lengthen a strap.

Very useful
This is a very useful item to have at hand in your barn. It can be used for buckets or used as a hook to close a stall door or gate.

Love it
I had a horse that likes to soak her hey and play with the buckets causing them to spill and fall off ,we tried to secure with double ended snaps and they froze with the low temps at night so these were the perfect fix.

Safe hook!
I mounted a couple of these hooks around my corral and run-in shed. It's easy to hook a bucket with one hand and i'm not worried about injury to my animals.

Simplifying Life
At my barn, the water buckets are either in creates of clips mounted on the wall. With the creates, the buckets get kind of stuck. With the clip, you have to lift the bucket with one hand while trying to unclip the clip with the other hand. (Now image doing that with a full bucket of water that needs changed). With these hooks, all you have to do is slightly lift them up and out. so much easier! The ONLY PROBLEM is the horses can flip their grain buckets off sometimes. However, that doesn't really bother me.

I use these for gates on the farm- easy and no need for snaps that freeze on wet cold days. Great product and nice discount in bulk.

Like the Design, Hard to Put Up
I like the design of these bucket hooks, and the safety of the ring around the top. They are also easy and quick to get buckets on and off (though this means my horses can remove them if they really want to!). But they are a huge pain in the butt to attach to the wall, because you can't reach a drill in around the ring for the top screw. The bottom one isn't quite as difficult. You almost have to pre-drill the hole, then painfully use a screwdriver to screw in the screw. Not a quick, 5-minute job, that's for sure. But I'd still recommend them for their looks, their function, and their safety.

Strong, good quality hooks
Bought these to install in a brand new barn. They are tough, and really attractive! LOVE the safety of the circular guards at the top, so the horse cannot possibly get hurt on the hook itself. I believe in safety first, and these are the way to go!!!

Good design, good value for money
I have used several other designs of bucket hooks. Most have either been difficult to use, have broken, or have been torn off the wall by buckets being shoved around by a horse. These hooks are easy to use - hang buckets and remove heavy, full buckets. I like the design and they are good value for money.

bucket hook
sturdy and easy to use, but my horse who likes to take his water bucket off a double end snap attached to a screw eye and off the bucket buddy type hook, can also get his bucket off this model.

Saves time, energy
These bucket hooks are so much eaiser to use than traditional snaps or straps. I can lift the bucket off with one hand instead of using one to hold the bucket and another to unhook or unsnap a clip. We use them in all the stalls in our barn.

Multi-purpose 'hook'
I assume most would use the 'wall mounted bucket hook' to hang buckets -- I have no idea how well they work holding buckets. However, they work as awesome 'latches' to fasten the chain on gates.
Very easy to hook/unhook one handed, they do not freeze and the horses have yet to escape!!!!!!!!!!

Great Product!
I love these bucket hooks. They keep my horses safe and it is very easy to take the buckets on and off. I love being able to buy them in the value pack as well.

Tough
I have a 1,600 lb. half draft mare who is pretty rough with her feed buckets and was leery of this product actully working, but so far, so good!
She was able to fling the bucket off the hook once, but the bracket is holding and I don't worry about injuries.

great product
really well made. horses can't get buckets off hooks but I can! very difficult to install because there is a very narrow area to install the bottom screw. had to make hole first and then use manual screwdriver because the angle between the tool and the hook doesn't allow for the size of a power drill. once it's up, it's awesome.

Super simple to use!
Although I haven't installed the bucket hooks purchased through SmartPak they seem to be similiar in quality and design to the hook I'm using in my stalls. This hook makes hanging heavy buckets a breeze. I'd previously used bucket straps with a spring-latch hook, which were difficult to manipulate and allowed alot of movement of the bucket as the horses used (or rubbed on) them. This hook design is simple, yet safe, and greatly cuts down on bucket "swing". I've ordered the 12 pack to use as a chain-catch at each gate. The 12 pk is a great value... big discount over purchasing the hooks individually. I'm looking forward to installing them this weekend.
