ABSTRACT:
A tie-down device for use with trucks, boats or other vehicles is provided. The tie-down is a single-piece dual-hook device having a pedestal base and an upper attachment section. The base has a threaded hole in the bottom for receiving a bolt or threaded device to a vehicle. The upper attachment section is formed in the general shape of an isosceles having an apex with legs extending downward at an approximate angle of 45.degree. below the horizontal. The outer surface of apex is rounded to avoid snagging. The attachment section has a large bore hole centered under the apex and a pair of hooks in each leg. The tie-down device allows a variety of tie-downs including threading of a line through the bore hole, attaching to the leg hooks, and cleating by winding between hooks, while providing a non-snagging outer form.
