Just curious, but does nayone have any objective information re: the relative strength, safety, and utility of using chain in slots vs. clevises, grab or slip hooks, or other chain fixation methods for haulng, lifting, or dragging logs and pther heafy loads?
I have to imagine that hooking up using the slots is madly easier and quicker than clevises or quicklinks, (though grab hooks aren't that much less so) but wondered about whether there were issues with bending the slotted bars. Obviously the chain can't/won't bounce out when loaded, but is it as strong and secure otherwise?
