I thought that the working load was rated at 1/3 of the breaking load...
Thought that was some ANSI spec...
The thought of a 20 foot chain breaking with 4000 lbs on it is real bad...
I like straps. I guess I've just had a lot of good luck with them. I do end up killing them after some use though, so I try to go big.
I carry 2- 30 foot 3 inchers, and 1- 10 foot 3 inch tree saver at all times. All are rated at 30,000 lbs, none have hooks.
