Tow hooks are devices used to tow or pull a vehicle in the event it gets stuck or disabled. They are typically located on the front or rear of the vehicle and are designed to attach to a cable or chain that is then connected to a tow truck or another vehicle. Tow hooks come in a variety of sizes and strengths, and can be made from materials such as steel or aluminum. They are often used by off-road enthusiasts, as well as by people who live in areas with inclement weather or rough terrain where getting stuck is more likely.
