Answers.Text: It is quite versatile part since there are at list 3 ways to connect it: 1) using the clip; 2) the towball; 3) the whole in towball (for a rope). There might even be 4th one - the bar between clip and ball, but I'm not sure it is wide enough for another part with clip. So there are many ways to use it. Do you happen to know which set this part came with?
