Steck Eye Bolt | Universal Tow Eye Kit w/Safety Strap For Import Vehicles

The Steck I-Bolt: Universal Tow Eye allows towers, body shop technicians, and mechanics to safely load disabled foreign and some domestic vehicles for tow on flatbed rollback wreckers and frame racks, without causing damage. 

Vehicle manufacturers design specific tow eyes having different diameters for each model. Although included with the vehicle many owners misplace them requiring towman to have a tow eye for every model. This is not only a big expense but a lot to carry around too. Not anymore! Able to fit threaded holes having diameters of ½” up to 1 ¼” I-Bolt is the all-in-one tow eye!

It is a 2” x 1 ½” loop connected to a 7” long steel shaft with unique gripping teeth that lock into the threaded holes on the front or rear of the vehicle.  Insert the it into the threaded hole, ideally behind the nut or the back of the hole, engage the gripping hooks by turning the loop clockwise until the hooks lock behind the nut or threaded hole without damaging the vehicle.

This unique design provides a universal hook up solution for the 200+ vehicles identified in the Towing and Service Manual from AAA. Also included is a 6’ x 2” polyester safety strap with a  4” looped end to wrap around the control arm or sway bar and a 3 ½” steel flat snap hook that attaches to the I-Bolt to positively secure the vehicle.

Winch the vehicle until all 4 four wheels are on the bed, and then level the bed. Continue to winch and stop 3-4 ft. short of the winch itself to avoid bending the I-Bolt and damaging the bumper. Once the vehicle is loaded, remove the I-Bolt and secure the vehicle.
