Used chains anyone?

You can make your own as long as it's heavy enough for what you need, grade 70 is most common. I wouldn't buy used, I snapped a 1/2 chain the other day and it's only 3 years old. It was on a light load as well. Best of luck.
Flat Earth Trucker, CAXPT and HardwareHyena Thank this. -
As mentioned above, they've got to be Grade 70 and yes you absolutely can buy the appropriate chain and hooks and assemble them yourself.
jamespmack and CAXPT Thank this. -
You can assemble your own sure. I prefer to buy the studded reinforced type though. They cost a lot but if im throwing chains their about to get a workout.
MOBee, CAXPT and HardwareHyena Thank this. -
I was thinkin'. Could be bad but just buy any ol' chain and Dremel a grade 70 on the metal so it says grade 70?!

Creates a stress riser in the steel. Not a good idea.

Good point. ☝️
Just don't see chains breaking unless you done already messed something else up, driving related, and that's not fault of the chain anyhow but...
