As per DOT regulations #"s 393.106(D) & table 393.108. If you were to use #3,30 or 300(all are the same chain, just differnt ways they are aloud to mark them) or unmarked chain. You would have to use a minimum size of 3/8" chain, if you use #4,43 or 430(again,all the same), you would use a mimimum size of 1/4" chain, anjd #7,70,700 a minimum of 1/4" chain. Every link on the chain and the hooks all have to have these markings on them. If any one of the links don"t have the markings on it, the whole chain is rated as #30 or below chain. The binders have to be sized for the chain that they are used on. Using a pipe on a over-center type binder is illegal. If DOT wants too be a pain, they can have you open the binder (they will let you use a pipe)then reclose(relock)without the use of a pipe. If you can"t, they can give you a ticket for overstressing the chain/binder. Now, when you go to court, you just have to prove that it was"nt overstressed.
