Is this ok? (chaining)

You’ll be the only person I know that has them.

Never met a soul at Melton that ever used them and I have never seen them in person. Period.

I know they exist but until DOT whips me over it... I probably won’t ever buy them.




Yet, $5 is $5....

 

I purchased enough for my snap binders. “8”. I think I found them for $7.99 each. There was no rating or size but there are 2 holes to chose from and plenty of slop.

 

Lever Binder Lock $5.99

 

So it’s a cotter pin and some bent steel...?

Alrighty

 

Are they required to have a WLL?

 

I’ve always assumed they were?

If not.... what’s the point?

 

Yup. I used to use bailing wire. I like the way these look going down the road a little better. Every time I break them out at least one person comments about them.

One time it was the DOT man.

The binder locks are required in Canada if the binder is not secured by the bitter end of the chain or a wire tied around each snap type binder. Bungee straps or tarp straps are not recognized as a locking device. This has been in effect since about 1996 or so.

 

I know the law. I just don’t agree with the law.

 

I’m talking about the clips, why would they be rated. Also I’ve never seen a dot rated zip tie, they make such a thing?
