I bought 4 of the 5/16 binders ($125 )and 4 of the 3/8 binders for $153 each.
they are expensive. They are worth it to us.cke, Big Road Skateboard, TX2Day and 1 other person Thank this. -
The binders sizings are for
1/4-5/16 " chain but only good for 2500 lb ea
5/16-3/8" chain at 5400 lb ea
3/8-1/2" chain at 6600 lb ea
So assuming you got 4x3/8 chain and 4x5/16? the smaller binders will work with all chains but bigger binders only your larger chains?
I presume that this is because you have stuff to haul that 5/16 wont be rated high enough for?
I dont dislike the binders, and starting new now, i think i might consider going for them, but not sure ill ever go that route though since i still have enough standard ratcheting and snap binders to last me a lifetime as long as i take care of them.
Also... tax, didnt account for sales tax, darn itcke, Deere hunter and Big Road Skateboard Thank this. -
@skallagrime mytee is indeed where everything was ordered.
I decided to upgrade 4 chains and binders because I have very limited knowledge on what we will be carrying and want to be prepared. The extra cost was about $5 per chain and $25 per binder to upgrade to 3/8.
my wife hates the 3/8 because it is significantly heavier.

I don’t see any “Ratchet” binders….. and here’s a tip, go find some 1” tubing and get it cut to 4’, it will give you the leverage on the binder securements.
cke and dirthaller Thank this.
