only 10k?  I've broken tow hooks that were rated at that or close to it.  I might use it as a winch point but not as a jerk point and then only if the vehicle was lighter like a CJ5 or close to it.

if you think about it how big is the pin that holds in your receiver and it not even hardened.  i think it would be fine as a winch point just not as a jerking point.

Well me personally I'll never run anything big enough to need that so my tow hook will work just fine.

I could see that being a nice projectile thru the windshield right into the face?!?!?!

but the hitch pins are stronger than you would think for not being hardened and what not..... I wanted to test one out one day so I hooked up a 20k chain to it and and big ass tree, a few beers later and with I was up over the  steering wheel and the the chain snapped... the hitch pin didnt bend at all   hmmmm  idk

No way. The pin is real thin where the hole is for the ring to go through - probably wouldnt take much to  bust it and make it into a missle!
