    Hi,

    How do you guys like to store your equipment, especially your chains? I’m looking for a neat and tidy way for when I pick up my truck later today.

    Best regards, John

    Chains were locked on or in the headache rack/cabinet and binders paired with the chains
    and extras are locked down too.
    If you have padlocks lube every two weeks and take some tennis balls and cut a slit in each and slip over the lock. A small drain hole in the bottom will take care of rainwater.
    Ensure you lube regularly as there is no more frustrating time than trying to remove a seized lock on a jobsite after hours when the shipper went home and you can't move until you can tie down the load!
    I lube with fluid film and rinse with acetone after 3 months.

    I store mine in my headache rack. 6 chains n binders on each side. If u alternate chain, binder, chain, binder , etc and then hook the end of the chain inside the bottom binder hook , it keeps the hook from spinning out of the binder and falling into the deep depths of headache rack hell ..also keeps the chains from getting tangled

    That's how I've seen them on skateboards I've passed. Looks sharp and organized.
