    Laclede chains are made in the USA. They have production operations in Marysville, MO.

    Delivered many a slinky load to them. Have a few custom chains direct from the manufacturing floor.

    Is just a case of metal fatigue,that chain was worked many times so close to or over the breaking limit.
