    I’m currently heading from LA to Spokane WA, and was wondering where can I buy the snow chain cam tool? I can’t find one in the truck for the hell of it. Any truck stops carry them? Thanks in advance. Be safe.

    Most places that sell chains will have the cam tools for sale also.

    The last sets I got had the tool in the box, I’ve actually got a few extras but I’ll be heading east in the AM so don’t think that will do you much good

    When you get the tools and after you paint them some bright color, make sure they fit the slot in the cam-loc. They're not all the same.
