Lifting Hooks???

Am considering buying some lifting hooks for help in deadlifts. My grip gives out way befroe my back. I think its because of my small hands, because my forearms are pretty strong. I've already tried straps but they slip also, has anybody had any experience with these, or know how effective they are?

That's rough when you can't lift even with straps. I know a guy who used hooks but he maxed 600+. If you do need them make sure you are only using them on the sets when you just can't hold the weight and be sure to do extra grip work to get your forearms up to speed.
