Welding Safety Chain Loops to Hitch/Receiver

Flatbed tow truck just broke my chain loop - Shockingly little force

Just had my '13 4R receiver chain hook fail as a flatbed tow truck was cinching the truck down (broke well before it pulled tight) after pulling it up the bed (in neutral, flat road surface).

I cannot believe how little force was needed to peel the weld off the end of the loop. And I cannot believe how little surface was actually welded now that you can see the interface.
