awesome, did your wife know you were literally blowing stuff up that close to your house? rofl

The swivel and hook was actually part of a sling assembly for a "gas generator.It looks like it might have been used once. I just disassembled it and uncoiled the cable it is 1/2" diameter 45' long one end is looped the other has a 1" eye on it.

:ditto:I even added an extra spring
