Chain Hooks - Made in USA

[TWD]

So I can easily find Made in USA chain.

However, finding Chain hooks made in the USA has proven difficult.

Anyone know of a company still manufacturing chain hooks in the USA ?


Also, where is everyone getting their chain from for the best price (made in usa) ??

Never mind.

Tulsa Chain Industrial Chain Rigging Equipment Supplier, Chain Hoists, Winches, Securement Products

FYI, Here are some brands of very high quality chain and various connectors:

Pewag
Kuplex
Crosby
Gunnebo

As most of their products are rated for overhead lifting, grades 80, 100, and120, be prepared for sticker shock.

I got some from truckntow.com Look to be pretty good quality, beveled for welding. $4 each.

They have been so helpful, I wish I had added them years ago. :thumbsup:

I dont do overhead lifting (at least anything where I get under it to work) so I just bought mine at Harbor Freight (grade 70 and grade 43 x 3/8" link size) I know they are plenty strong as I broke the bracket that holds the drawbar on my 70HP tractor and didnt damage the chain when trying to pull a loaded 12 yard dump truck out of the mud. All 4 tires had dug a deep hole in the ground before it started snapping and lunging. I managed to get it stopped but not before it snapped the drawbar pin bracket attached to the belly of the tractor. I would say it holds more than 5400# rating that DOT puts on it.
But I know it is made in China.

I have the same chain. It works

I`m looking to get some Grade 100 or Grade 120 that weighs about 1/2 as much as that HF chain and are just as strong, and was wanting to compliment them with some USA made hooks/etc.

I've found I'll clean up and organize a bit more if I`m not having to lug 40-60lb of chain to do it :laughing:

It seems Grade 100 is the sweet spot as 120 is almost 2x as much for only a bit more in strength.
