Can-hooks

This excellent device is improperly called "cant-hooks" in some localities. It consists of a double chain, rope, or bar-sling attached to a ring, with ends slightly hooked for gripping the underside of a flange or projecting lug. Very useful for taking a balanced lift where such practice is convenient. See SLINGS; CHAIN.
