    Bind, tie down and tow loads with this chain. This chain is graded based on weight capacity, so you'll always know exactly how much it can handle. Look for the manufacturer's stamp on each link to confirm the grade.
    When using fittings with chain, match the trade size and meet or exceed the chain’s grade to avoid chain damage or failure.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    Grade 43 Chain—50% stronger than Grade 30 chain, this chain is great for towing as well as quickly securing and releasing large loads when logging.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause this chain to rust.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common and economical choice, the zinc plating resists occasional moisture.
    Galvanized Steel—A thick coating protects this chain in wet and outdoor environments about as well as 304 stainless steel, but it corrodes when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
