well around here we have five big truck supply -parts stores that that is all they have is USof A made chain and binders , last year while i was worken for my buddy the first thing that i did was make him get some chain and binders as 4 china chains and china binders are not going to hold a PC 300 Jap on the trailer and it will get you all kinds of nice bright red stickers placed all over the truck along with a realy realy big fine well his socalled mechanic runs off to the new harbor freight and brings back a whole bunch of junk chain and binders since this socalled mechanic buys all of his tools there and never has a wrench that is not broken or welded on and split out sockets broken ratches well he starts dragen these junk chains down to the lowboy and i took one look and said take them all back and get me real chains he starts on how much he is saving and i tell him just how much ya saven when the break and something comes off the trailer and ends up on top of some mini van loaded with a youg woman and three of four kids it and if you insist that i use this junk then you will be the one driven this truck . well the good chains were 25 bucks for the 5/16th g70 taged and the 1/2 inch stuff was 37 buck for 1/2 x16 the 5/16th x24 and all the binder were ratchet and the 5/16th3/8 were 30 a pice and usa made.now the 1/2 binders were 52 and the one time that i got stopped when i had the big jap on to check and make sure that i had all the permits for the weight they DOT just happened to stoppalong with the state cop and weigh wagon and the DOT officer went and checked each chain for the tag and each binder totaled up all the ratings of the chains and binder walks up to me and tell me that i had all my duckys in a row and i was the first one that week haulen the big stuff that he did not have write a ticket and redtag because of JUNK chain . A ong time ago one of my old buddys told me that it only costs a dollar more to go first class So if you are looking for good USA CHAINlook at the truck suppy houss nit the truck stops as they have in the past 10-15 years become one of the biggest rip offs out there and they thrive on the made in China junk and all of these rocky new commer socalled truck drivers just love to by junk.
