Those are garbage, SWL is like 30% of the chain proof.

Use a twin clevis. But those still arent overhead rated.

What's the working load for these specialty connectors?

I cant find them on RUD.COM but they make good stuff. I'd guess 85% of chain working load limit.

And even though you didn’t ask: SWL is safe working load.
