Review on ๐Ÿš— SZ343 Shur Grip Super Z Passenger Car Tire Traction Chain - Set of 2 by Security Chain Company by Chucky Hepler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Why are they doing this to us?

By "the" I mean the tote bag. You would NEVER want to give a customer a box that chains fit in. "Of course they do," says the manufacturer. "We put them in there, didn't we?" - yes, probably with a car. Are they trying to save space in our trunk or rather in their warehouse? Well I have news for you, I got it back on the third try, although I will tell you that an extra assistant, each of us with three hands, would have made things easier. It is enough to make the body three inches longer. This habit of theirs turns their nice, sturdy suitcase into a box to transport and sell: open and throw away, then take a sack or box. By the way, they are SO easy to put on compared to chains that only have two attachment points. . The additional Velcro fastener on the inside of the top of the tire allows me to open it even with the narrow wheel arches of my sedan without having to lie on my back in the snow or roll the car back and forth. The sizing chart was accurate as I barely made the last plug. I always seem to have come across chains that barely fit rather than being slightly loose; my luck. This provides a good workout by stretching the final plug through the hole. They offer average traction, which is quite enough for my front-wheel drive sedan. Chain is always better than cable when properly installed, but you'll pay with chattering teeth. I advise you to keep thick spanners in a warm part of the car as they are difficult to tighten, especially when the tires are cold. Cashing out is easy. Pull the tensioners, disconnect the two outer links, and then pull the slack chains outward until you can reach and disconnect the inner link. Then drive off the chains. As usual, don't repackage them (as if you could). Wet and dirty, fold them into an old blanket and shake them as fast as you can, lay them on concrete, spray with WD-40 and bag them up.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
