Wow, I cant touch that price! But they are G43 rated and not the usual G70 hooks.
Third function switch or button source?

I don't know what rating they are but....they're rated for twice as much as my loader can pick up.

Just need to read the fine print to be sure what one's getting.

Yeah Brian you're correct. I didn't really pay attention to the G43/G70 rating just how many pounds they were rated for.
The last ones I bought from Tulsa chain were 3/8" G70 rated for 6600 Lbs and only cost $4.10 each + shipping. That takes the price up to $6.70 each. That is still an excellent price.
The ones from ZoroTool are G43 and only rated for 5400 Lbs.
I'm still well below the loader capacity.
I doubt they'll fail. I was moving my existing bucket (G70 Hooks) with the pallet forks and somehow one of the hooks got hung up on the pallet fork frame and the entire bucket was hanging on one hook side loaded. I was amazed it didn't break.
