This chain, with two clips on each end, is used to attach my "long rope" to another tree or stump when I need to make sure the tree , which I am felling, falls in the intended direction when the question arises due to the profuse growth of a branch or the need to drag a fallen log. Quality looks good and both clevis studs are easy to turn by hand right out of the box without the need for cleaning or threading and so far have not bent or twisted under load.
