For perhaps different reasons (perhaps the same), I'd have to say that I'm with you on not really being afraid of Chinese made chain even though I do use U.S. made. We certainly agree on not using the nylon straps though. At least you are smart enough to know that without having to have the lesson given to you the hard way like I did. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif All the other stuff is trivial in my book when comparing the type of binder the country of origin of chain etc. It's when someone wants to say that they are darn fine with using straps and that straps are just fine, that's where I have absolute proof that they are simply flat wrong. And, it's hard to not be annoyed when someone like that gives advice that is quite honestly dangerous to someone who doesn't know better. Hopefully we don't have that contingent of people show up and want to say that using the ratcheting nylon straps are fine as long as they are in good condition etc. If so, Mr. Highbeam, you'll have to handle those. I have too hard of a time not using that "stupid" word when discussing that issue. Heck, I admit that I was on that "stupid" side and got off easy when I learned that I was just plain wrong.
