American made chain and hooks

[Zerk]

Looking for American made grade 70 chain and hooks. Brands and sources. I have googled this a bit. One thread form here was 2007.

I did order a major brand, maybe Cambell, can't remember 1/4 G70, chinese. I am looking for 5/16 and 1/4, mostly. I use 1/4 on side by side.

I am doing this for selfish reasons, I work and live in America.

Below is site, that looks decent price. Never did business with. They USA made binder, does not say origin of hooks.
Grade 7 Binder Chain (USA) - from Tulsa Chain, Inc.


I live by Fleet Farms, I can get all the chinese hooks and chain I want, without shipping.

Thanks for help.

Shopping around can be time consuming, cause you have to compare shipping. But they seemed best so far.


Grade 70 seems like it might be a good price vs weight. My plan is stay with one grade, to keep things simple. I consider all the same size, but 1/4 is easy to handle, and plenty I suspect for 4 wheeler and side by side.


I also use straps and rope, I realize there are safer. But like chains for dragging stuff. I am not stressing them.

Just converted winch to rope for side by side. Haven't used it yet. Sure nice to handle. Hope it hold up.

I included a link for company that sells American chain, another member said they have bought from them.

Are you one of those guys who doesn't bother, cause it is a global economy?

I find lots of American made products. To many people, are to lazy to try.

I understand living in Canada, who makes little saps the moral from you. But I do buy Canadian products, or other countries that are our friends, before China. I also buy from other 3rd world country before giving money to a country, that you can argue is our enemy.

No, I'm a realist who has experience in buying such products.

Good luck. And you should look into the laws that stipulate how goods are labeled.

Have you read the posts here?





I realize they import material, many labels now say assembled or made with imported material. Still better then something that says made in China or Japan. Better then nothing.


I have worked at mills, mines, and foundries. So I know the benefit of buying American.
