Was in the same situation not long ago. I have pretty heavy duty chains on my tractor and wanted to add a few more cross chains to them. I have seen those large pliers work and they do a great job but at about $100.00 delivered from tirechain.com I just did not want to spend that much for maybe a one time use, so searching the internet I went. Most other places have the same or similar for even more money until I found .........AWdirect.com...........they have the large pliers also at more money but they have a medium size one that's rated for 5/16 chain and it's 23" long. The cost for this one was $36.52 with shipping...........pretty good deal I thought. It is an import and the others are USA made but for something I may never use again that's they way I had to go. They just showed up today and they work perfect. I was a little worried that my chains are about 3/8" but this plier can handle them, it is one rugged tool that looks like it would hold up to lots of use.
Good luck, Scott
