Drop the other hooks, this is what you need for hanging
As a profefessional DJ I do my fair share of private parties, proms and weddings. In the past I've used J hooks, L hooks and other similar hanging bracket devices all of which had the same problem, the unyeilding screw that eventually marred your black T bar or truss. Then I found the O Clamp! Yes, they've been on the market for a long time but it took me to actually see one in use to understand these were as good as sliced bread. So I ordered 6 to try. Then 10 more. Then 24 more. Now I have o rings out the kazoo, but I'm through with all those other clamps. Beware though: if you are using a T bar or hanging on a standard tubular 1.5 inch to 2 inch truss bar, you want the 1.5 O Clamp. The 1.0 clamps are made for the small skinny tubes you find supporting ceilings and such. And for around 5 bucks a piece, these are great buys. And a lot more secure than loose brackets.

Inconsistant quality
We have about a dozen of these - some are great, some not so much. The ones that work right (about half), get high marks. However while setting up a truss at a gig a fixture just suddenly fell forward and hit the bottom bar of the truss. The clamp was just rotating on the truss bar (1.5"). Trying to tighten it down didn't help. As one other reviewer said, the plastic is so soft that the butterfly just eats into the plastic. After this we tested all we had and found about half did not have enough grip on the truss to safely hold the fixture in place. Since we had already thrown out the boxes and put these in the roadie kit we came up with a fix. Here it is if you find yourself in the same situation. Remove the spacers that reduce the clamp to 1 1/2". Put three layers of black duct tape on the inside of both halves of the clamp and then replace the spacers. This makes it small enough to grip the truss bar. It also helps to remove the butterfly handle and add a quarter inch flat washer...
easy to use
