    A new metal ball hook swivel?

    I don't know if this is new or not, or if it's another version of the Swiveltech, but I was on Ebay and saw Forza Sports is selling this.

    I just wish you could unscrew the base from all of these swivels so you clean clean the ball when it gets dirty, or replace the ball, or replace the base when they wear.

    For you eBayers out there there is a 10% eBay bucks promotion going on right now too for $4 off. But this swivel seems a bit overpriced.

    Also I bought some s-hooks and eye bolts from Watkins and put one in an Everlast plastic base and one in a Title u-bolt swivel that I pressed out the internals. I have yet to test these out.

    Scroll down a bit and you can read that the MPN is Swivel Tek. Something new from Swivel Tek for Forza?

      The one on the right sure looks like JumpCannon's Powermill swivel, http://www.speedbagforum.com/forums/...on+evil+swivel

        Oh good eyes! It just seemed too much like the Swiveltek, not to be the Swiveltek!

        It sure does! I missed out on the Powermill. Looks like it was a beast of a swivel.

        I made a testing platform in my garage to test different swivels. I got an old Everlast unit from Craigslist for $10 and use different Home Depot pine roundtops for the different mounting holes for all the swivels. I just have to get it set up.


        I would really love to have a swivel with the following:
        A base that can have the bottom screw off (clean or lube ball, replace ball, eye hook)
        Maybe a metal insert in the bottom half that can be replaced to keep the bottom part from eventually failing
        A ball with a set screw so you can replace the eye bolt when that fails
        Easily available eyebolts and s-hooks and balls

        My platform cannot have holes drilled through the top (easily) and I need a swivel that goes on once so I don't have to keep on backing out screws to where the holes will eventually strip.

          I purchased three of the JC swivels. (One was absconded with.) My impression was that they were a metal copy of the Everlast plastic ball hook They were very well made.
