I have straightened a hook before, well bent it out, with an '04 D4G Cat, pulling some kind of heavily rooted bush out, that was on the bottom side of an old abandoned pool that I demolished for my neighbor, this is a slow pull, I could not see the hook, felt like it was coming out, not !! LOL !
This practice of using a chain in that manner, I'm not a fan of, you just don't have all the facts, you can't measure the force applied, and it could be compromised, the chain that is. So unless you have a feel for how hard to safely pull, and you know the chain is not compromised you still may get some dangerous results.

I am led to believe that one can cover the chain with a blanket, perhaps run it through a steel pipe, but when it comes to pulling that hard, one had better think hard about what they are doing and how to stay out of its path, chain or pieces of it flying, absolutely no joke as most already know.
