Does one need tools to hook a tow line? Or does one discard the damn spring like every other hook I've seen?
 
You shouldn't need tools. They're probably just seized. Replace them if you want to keep the spring or like you said get some that don't have the spring clip.
 
Definitely send them back :) Do they have some kind of safety lock on them? Kinda weird they don't move and are brand new.
 
I see what you mean now...they should be able to bend backward some with either a cable or rope held by both hands on each side or maybe bent back with your thumb. Personally I'd just ditch the spring clip, but it is a little safer if the strap can't come off. I've never seen it happen but I'm sure it has to someone lol.
