The 5/16" - 3/8" Ratchet Chain Binder

To ensure maximum safety and operational efficiency, please adhere to these professional precautions:

● No Handle Extensions: Never use a "cheater bar" or pipe to increase leverage. The binder is engineered to reach its Working Load Limit (WLL) through manual operation; excessive force can damage the internal gears or snap the hooks.

● Tension Path Alignment: Ensure the chain and binder are in a straight line. Pulling at an angle or over an edge can apply side-pressure to the screw threads, leading to premature wear or mechanical binding.

● Grease Maintenance: Keep the screw threads well-lubricated with heavy-duty grease. This is especially critical for binders exposed to rain, snow, and road salt, as it prevents the "seizing" of the ratcheting mechanism.
