Probably not a difference with chains. Binders I think are a different story.
Just my opinion in the vote.

skellr Thanks this. -
Scrap cars will need really long chains, but I wouldn't recommend hauling scrap, no matter how well it's paying. The fluids that leak out, and the damage it does to the trailer just isn't worth it. Unless you are running a dedicated scrap trailer mind you.

I carry 8-3/8"-20' and 4-5/16"-20 and
1-5/16"-30' all grade 70.
Most of my loads are equipment and "things" not loads of pipe,coils or pallets.
I use the 3/8" chain most the time.
I always buy made in the USA and the cost isn't much more than import.
Current price $55.00 for 3/8"-20' G70
Peerless brand.
Good luck -
cke Thanks this.

They carry bulk chain and binders. -
Might be marked as grade 70, might even be grade 70, might not.
Made in USA grade 70 chain is in fact going to be grade 70 chain -
The off shore stuff seems to tarnish and corrode a little quicker than U.S made chain in my experience.

I carry 4 14' 3/8 chains. I use them more then anything. I want more buy haven't got back to where I got them. I know a lot of heavy haul guys that only carry 10' 1/2" chains. 20' is to much I think. I do still carry 20' but don't use them often.
