Video Transcript for Curt Single Hook Coiled S-Hook Safety Cables Review
Hey neighbors, it's Dustin here at etrailer, and today I've got the CURT Coiled Safety Cables. The coiled design is nice because when not in use, you can see we're not dragging the ground here, but when you are ready to use it it's easy enough to stretch over and hook on to the safety chain loops of your hitch. Our braided cables have a nice nylon coating, which if you've ever worked with braided cables you know sometimes they can get metal splinters on 'em, and that's no fun on your fingers. So this is really good to have. Also here, our S-hooks have a gate on them to help keep them in place, and they are zinc coated to help reduce rust and corrosion over time. The overall length of the cables when fully stretched out is 42 inches, which is gonna be great for most trailer and truck combinations or whichever tow vehicle you happen to have.
But if you do find yourself coming up a little short, there are extensions available here at etrailer. One final thing to keep in mind when hooking up any sort of safety cables is you're gonna wanna, if you have the opportunity, connect the driver's side of your trailer to the passenger side on your vehicle and vice versa. What that's gonna do is create a cradle underneath. So in the event of a catastrophic disconnect, your trailer's tongue won't just slam to the ground, it'll be caught by that cradle and prevent any further damage. Now they don't come with an attachment point for your trailer side, so that's one thing to keep in mind when you're going to install them.
If you don't already have a D-link or possibly some bolts where your previous ones we're attached, you'll need to pick that hardware up. You can get that here at etrailer. We have plenty of D-links to choose from. One thing to keep in mind when choosing a D-link is you want to pick one that's rated as high or higher than your safety cables because the lowest rated component is always the number to go with. So, what you'll do is on our trailer here particularly, we've got a welded on bracket here that we've got our D-link on already, and we're able to just place our safety cables on there and tighten this down.
And with those D-links, after you get it hand-tight, I always recommend coming back with an adjustable wrench and giving it maybe a half turn or so, so it's nice and snug. Then our safety cables are installed, and they're ready to hook up. So whether you've got a new trailer that's in need of some safety cables or you've got some old rusty ones you wanna replace, the CURT Rated Safety Cables with S-hooks are gonna be you a great option for you.

I put these on a lightweight aluminum trailer. What I like about them is they coil up when the trailer is not in use. So they don’t lay in the snow or on the ground. Seem to be well made.
Comments
Still working great. Stay coiled up when not in use.

Very good product with above average service from e-trailer.
by: Kurt04/18/2022
The Quality appeared good upon receipt. These were installed on a boat trailer to replace the original safety chains that started looking rough. The vinyl coating should protect the cables for many years to come. Everything is performing to my expectations so far.

I bought all of my products for flat towing my 2014 Jeep Cherokee for etrailer and I couldn’t be happier. The service was exceptional, the pricing was right, and when I did have a problem, they were right there to take care of it. When I need more goodies for the RV, I will be back!!!!

by: Rich06/14/2018
OEM cables had gotten frayed from getting caught under the hitch at the bottom of my steep driveway. Got tired of stabbing myself handling them, so I replaced them. This was an exact replacement, and took all of 20 minutes to install. Only took that long because I had to removes the trailer jack/wheel to get the bolt for the cables out.
Comments
Excellent
Rich Z - 06/17/2019by: Dr. Bradley09/07/2017
The skid plate on my trailer jack quite literally saved my life! To make a long story short, my trailer came loose from my tow vehicle at 65 mph and the skid plate on the trailer jack functioned perfectly preventing the trailer jack from digging into the pavement. When I inquired about replacing this skid plate, your company generously sent me a new skid plate at no charge. In return I mailed the old one back for your R & D people to see what it looked like after performing it's job. Thank you.
Comments
Fantastic, as stated in my first review, the skid plate worked as designed and prevented a serious accident. I hope to NEVER have the opportunity to test the jack stand skid plate ever again. Thanks for a great product. KB :

Always order from etrailer and always get just what I needed and never disappointed.
by: Dave S.10/01/2019
I purchased the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs. initially I was Leary of the product because of its low price compared to other tow bars. I now can say my concerns were needless because after flat towing my Wrangler over 5,000 trouble-free miles I have nothing negative but only positives to report. The best thing I like about the tow At is that it only takes 5 minutes to attach and unhook.
by: Jake H05/01/2016
These cables were easy to install and feel very sturdy. I installed them on a small tent trailer. My only concern is because they are coiled I am always worried they will get pinched in the hitch because they don't hang down from the trailer. I have used the trailer several times in the last year since installing them and it hasn't happened yet. As always, etrailer.com has top notch customer service!

Looks good a little short
by: David04/22/2015
Awesome safety cables. Length is great and I really like the coil feature. I deal with a fleet of vehicles and small trailers, so getting drivers to hook them up properly every time is tough. These safety cables will save me a lot of work since they won't drag. I can't tell you how many plugs and chains I've repaired. This will help solve the problem.
by: Peter12/14/2018
Everything I purchase from this company is outstanding. Never a problem, shipped on time, never disappointed. A+ customer service too. Great company.
by: Brian S. 06/08/2019
Easy to install. Never used in an emergency. The cable has considerable coil memory. It retains a coiled-up shape. This makes it a bit difficult to stretch to connect.
Comments
Performed well the first year. No problems.
Brian S - 06/09/2020by: Tim J.07/01/2019
The safety cables work well. The hooks seem a bit small for my Father's safety attachments on his Ford F150. They fit just right on my Ram 1500.
by: Floridaman201301/19/2017
Replaced 2 safety cables of which one had already snapped and the other not far from it. Looking close to home didn't produce what I needed so again to to E-trailer and the exact items as OEM. Ordered and shipped right away. Haven't mounted yet as I have a bad head cold but did measure against one old cable and they are right on.
by: Dean05/15/2016
Use as safety cables between the tow bar and tow vehicle. Easier, cleaner and quieter than chain.
by: Rob N04/02/2020
Thankfully, the tow bar that I purchased has done it's job and these cables have not had to be used.
by: James10/26/2017
Our old chains dragged on some dips but these do not and they are good quality and easily clip to hitch Every time we hook up the trailer I am glad I bought them
by: Jerry L.09/22/2016
Excellent quality, easy to install, arrived quickly. I have a break-a-away trailer and these safety cables are 40 inch, I should have purchased 48 inch.
by: David07/15/2018
Very happy with the safety cables that I ordered. The price was good and the apparent quality as well. It took a little longer to receive the order than the last time I ordered from you. I am thinking that maybe they didn't come directly from you. Overall, I am happy, and will use you again as the need arises for your oroducts.
by: John T. 12/09/2015
Product excellent but really the big deal is Etrailer's service and speed. Great to deal with. Will always consider buying from Etrailer first due to their superior service, in-stock availability, knowledge and shipping.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Safety Cables
- Size of Hooks and Type of Steel Used for Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # C80151The Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # C80151 have zinc-coated steel S-hooks. The cables are braided steel and nylon coated. It would not be aircraft cable. The diameter of the hooks is 3/8". I have linked a video review of these cables for you.
view full answer... - Do S Hook Safety Chains Require Wire Keepers When Attaching to Vehicle Safety Chain LoopsAs long as the S of the hook fits over the safety chain loop a wire keeper isn't exactly required. It wouldn't hurt but I've towed hundreds of time with a safety chain setup that had S-hooks without keepers and the chains never disconnected.
view full answer... - What Size is the Opening for the Eyes of Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables 80151I went out to the warehouse and pulled a set of Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # C80151 to measure the size of the eye opening for you. The width at the widest point is 0.65 inches (between 5/8 and 11/16 inches). And at the longest the opening is 1.37 inches (1-3/8 inches). With these measurements you should be able to determine if the bolt will go through.

- What Size Hitches are the Curt Safety Cables part # C80151 Designed to FitThe Curt Safety Cables part # C80151 that you referenced are designed to fit the safety chain loops that are on virtually all hitch sizes. From 1-1/4 to 2-1/2 as the safety chain loops are all pretty much the same dimensions. I attached an FAQ on hitch sizes plus a review video for this product for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Can Safety Cables be Used Instead of Safety Chains on TrailerYes you can use safety cables in place of safety chains as long as they are rated for the weight of the trailer. Chains are typically a little easier to use in this application though since you can manipulate the length of them easier by twisting them but you can use a cable set like the part # C80151 if you wanted. These have a 5,000 lb capacity.
view full answer... - Diameter of Ferrule On the Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables C80151I spoke with Curt and they informed me that the ferrule on the Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables part # C80151 is .59" diameter.
view full answer... - Do Curt Single Hook Coiled Safety Cables Meet Legal Requirements for TowingAs long as the 5,000 pound capacity for the Curt Single Hook Safety Cables # C80151 meets or exceeds your trailer's weight then they will indeed meet any local requirements with regards to safety chains or cables when towing. These cables have a nice coiled design that will help keep them off the ground and the nylon coating prevents any scratching and will protect the interior from rust or corrosion. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.

If hey prevent the towed item from making contact with ground is completely dependent on the distance between each vehicle for your specific application and the height from road surface.

If you would like one that is a little larger than that we have the Curt # C80176 which has an opening of 7/8" (see attached photos).
