I have to take issue here, Chris. The Midwest hooks visibly flex when lifting heavy bodied snakes and I have had a couple of hooks separate from the shaft on me. Their hook opening will allow lifting a larger snake than the shaft will support.

Regarding the weight issue, the difference is dramatic. Spending several days in the field or 8 hours on stage in a training seminar really underscores the light weight of the Fuhrman hooks. And I do spend a good deal of time working out.

The Midwest hooks are a good value for the dollar spent, however, they must be considered a consumer product whereas the Fuhrman hooks are truly a professional implement.

Regards.
