Title: WARNING! DANGER! READ THIS BEFORE BUYING!!!
Review: NEVER buy ANY tow chain that is only 5/16.A 5/16 chain has a working load limit (aka breaking point) of about 4,000 lbs.That is the empty weight of the AVERAGE car in the United States.ANY chain designed to pull or tow a car should be a MINIMUM of 3/8 in diameter.3/8 inch chain has a Working Load Limit of 6000 lbs - adequate for towing any car or truck.Buying a lesser chain is a safety risk - and when a chain breaks under this much strain, it can cause major physical damage to either vehicle, or loss of life / limb.Those figures are true with good quality American steel. If it is made in China, Japan, or other countries where the metallurgy is not as advanced - who knows? I would expect them to be of lesser quality and greater chance of breaking.I don't care if it says tow chain written all over it, and is painted highway traffic cone orange. If it isn't a 3/8 inch chain - you might be able to tow an ATV out of the mud - but NEVER tow a car with it!
