The 3/8" - 1/2" Ratchet Chain Binder

Given the extreme forces involved in chain tensioning, please strictly follow these safety precautions:

● Verify Grade Compatibility: Always ensure the chain used matches the binder's ratings. Using a binder on a chain it wasn't designed for can lead to mechanical failure under load.

● Avoid "Cheater Pipes": The ratcheting handle is designed to provide sufficient leverage by hand. Using a pipe to extend the handle can apply excessive force, potentially stripping the internal threads or snapping the binder hooks.

● Maintain Thread Lubrication: Regularly clean and grease the screw threads. Dry or rusted threads increase friction, making the binder difficult to operate and reducing its effective tensioning power.
