Watkins Ball Hook

[iforwms]

Having had a few comments on my youtube videso about my swivel, I have decided to purchase a new one. It seems like the Watkins Metal Ball Hook is the swivel of choice, due to the Everlast S-hook not being available anymore!

I have found the swivel here: http://www.fitness-equipment.com/aca...ystems_30.html

But my problem is shipping to the UK. I went on the site, and they do ship to the UK, but they are charging $75!!!

Does anyone know of a UK based firm where I can purchase a similar one, or anyone from the US willing to forward it onto me?

Kind regards,

iforwms, I have a Watkins ball and hook that I only used a few times-found Everlast ball and hook on ebay. Works great with Everlast plastic base-Thanks Alan. iforwms, let me know me where in the UK you are at. I work at Fed Ex and I will ask how much shipping would be-I get a discount on shipping.

Thanks for that mate, but just checked it out, and he says he won't ship outside the US!

I have found this swivel, is this the one I want to be buying? It looks a bit rusty though....

No you don't want that one. That is an old stamped metal socket one (the cheap ones) that wear out quickly with serious use. If you want a ball and hook style socket, those have the mounting flange that is seperate from the ball & hook socket , like the Watkins and the old style Everlast. Ringside offered one for a while also. They are machined metal castings,as opposed to the inexpensive ones that are just stamped out of sheet metal.

Looks like I'm back to square one then! Any ideas guys?
