They are not clear. The disclaimer says no angle which pretty much means zero. It broke at about ~45, which is more than zero. Any angle(even 1 degree) is more than no(zero) angle. I guess liabilities and disclaimers must be very broad to cover all angles

If they said no more than +/- 15 degrees vertical axis, +/- 10 degrees horizontal axis, then that opens them up to unprovable claims. "I was only at 7 degrees and it broke! Give me a new one!" When in reality the guy was using it as a jack point. It's easier to say straight pulls only.

Honestly I can't blame OP for expecting a tow hook to be capable of towing.
Tow hooks should be able to work at any angle while pulling racecars out of sand traps, tire walls, or trees. The fact it's incapable of supporting a car being pulled onto a flatbed shows that it's just a crappy part. They should really include some fine print "for show use only"

All horrible stories end with a hook!
Good form.

As others have said, why didn't you use the OEM tow hook? It looks bland and therefore is probably stronger for it.
