To me, the officers assessment and judgement of the surface welds ( that is what they were correct ? ) I would think that there must be something written in a law somewhere, where it states, modifications are unaceptable, meaning the rigging is straight from a manufacturer that has designed, engineered and certified the rigging, (say like a load binder)to comply to some standard, accepted by D.O.T. even if a binder handle was severed, re-attached with weld, and I assume that is what they really don't like, something grossly modified, they give you barracks justice and what's good for one is good for all modifications no matter how minor they are. I assume on as ratchet binder, a handle failing would have no effect, but the other type, that flops over, once locked, and the chain stays tight ( which is hard to do with a pneumatic, air filled tire machine like a tractor or a loader ) but if it slackens up, I guess maybe that is why the handle is considered to be dangerous if modified. Seems like a judgment call, metalurgically speaking I assume it's a similar call like why they don't like field cutting structural steel members or connections with a torch due on some jobs I've worked on, written clearly in the specfications due to embrittlement or something. I mean, in your instance, this sounds ridiculous, maybe I'm completely wrong though.
