10 times better than the average chain. The quality and construction were noticeably noticeable. I have no doubt that this will be the only brand I will buy my chains from. The price is a bit higher than other chains you can find on the market but I wouldn't risk buying a cheaper one and breaking it and then going back and buying this one. Lasts for many years! Thank you Vulcan for making such a great product. Besides, the color is also cool and stands out!
