    In that part of the country, they call them "boomers", if u had said that to them, they would have known exactly what u needed.

    Well those 20.00 binders, what kinda of working load limit do they have?
    Sometimes cheaper is not for the better.

    MMM, I've always called them Binders, some guys call them tighteners...never heard of them called Boomers.

    If your in PA and look on your phone for a "Tractor supply" they carry chain and binders, may not be the best, but they will get you out of a jam for sure.

    Where in PA were ya at?
