[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2894256, member: 8481"] According to the FMCSA, the chains have to be strong enough to keep from breaking in case of separation. It's a federal law. (I know, it doesn't mean they weren't defective) [B][SIZE=4]49 CFR[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=4]Subpart friend—Coupling Devices and Towing Methods[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=4]§393.70 Coupling devices and towing methods, except for driveaway-towaway operations.[/SIZE][/B] (d) Safety devices in case of tow-bar failure or disconnection. Every full trailer and every converter dolly used to convert a semitrailer to a full trailer must be coupled to the frame, or an extension of the frame, of the motor vehicle which tows it with one or more safety devices to prevent the towed vehicle from breaking loose in the event the tow-bar fails or becomes disconnected.
