I am concerned with the incident where the person posted that the chain caused some sidewall damage. Is that a real possibility using these chains?

I don't remember having sidewall damage to our tires but there were some nicks to the tread, nothing that I would consider unusual when one factors in the extreme conditions and environments these chains are used in. One must remember that tires aren't made to be driven on chains for extended periods. Is it possible...I would say yes. But I think that would apply to any chains??. For what its worth...

Yes, they will deny your claim. I almost went to small claim court but I decided not waste my time. It cost me over 1000 bucks. It will not only damage wheels but torn apart covering around the wheels under body.

Any exterior chain products has the potential to have some tire/rim damaged if not used to manufactures instructions. Fitment and suggested speed is critical for not causing damage. I suggest making sure that none of the chain or cable components are not touching the rim and that the cross members that run across the tire face does not fall between the treads. If this happens it is called tread lock and tire damage is possible. Please read the instruction, note our waiver of claim if not used and or installed properly.

You can't without certain risk. It is recommended to follow manufactors guide lines and use 22" bolt or equiptment damage and injury could result.

Thank you, I was also wondering some folks mentioned issues w hum or saw one guy claim it's not isolated but essentially a one spot daisy chain in a box. Have you had issues?

I would contact renthal. You can probably use it,but I would make sure because it is an expensive chain.

I did not however I don't know why you couldn't. All you would have to do is remove the chain links.

I don't know, but why worry about it? If it doesn't fit, just throw a short length of chain over the bar and hook the block to both ends of the chain. Ed Peters

If damage occurs during shipping in USA would be coming. But if it happens from USA to destination outside USA site, it would be by the company conveying that shipment. It is my personal opinion. Best regards

Heck yes, the chains get shot all the time! They do not "hold up" at all, bullets, specially rifle bullets go right through chain links and sometimes destroy the chains. However; you can go to any hardware store and get a new 1' chain for about $3. In fact, I would recommend going to a hardware store ahead of time and getting a few 1' lengths of chains and some S hooks. You will need them!

Never a silly question:) The inside straps with hooks actually got caught in my chain & snapped off & I had to fix the chain. I would make sure they are very securely hooked onto something or cut them off altogether. The other hook on the other side got caught in my wheel & snapped off!

I use the winch that I bought for that purpose and it does not given me any problems but regarding its safety I think I am in no position to answer that .. Check the manual

Yes, I believe so. I've been using a bar and chain from another small saw tha got wrecked when a tree fell on it. I am still happy with the saw.

I have not had this happen. The clip is a metal clip and I can see if it was not firmly attached by the consumer the potential for this type of mishap is possible. Once the system is engaged properly I don't think it is about to come undone.

I have had the chain come off once since I owned it. It was my fault cutting a limb too big for the saw which it got caught and knocked of track. Also, just remember after use check the tension with the easy to use tool provided. I should also mention the chain did not come off when I cleared a whole front yard with thick limbs and vines and a backyard with large shrubs and tree limbs.

I was concerned about this as well. However the swing works just fine as long as the chain is square at the top to the seat. I left the bottom eye bolt out just.a bit from the bottom so that the chain does not touch the arm rest. Works well.

It should do a very good job if the chain guard does not interfere. The connecting bar fastens there and the chain guard will probably need to be removed.

As I understand, they have one ply of fibrous material encapsulated between the single outer layers which is designed to shred and stop the chain motion in case of accident. I think they would be safe in the event of a kick-back or accidentally bumping the chain into one's leg. Keep in mind, though, that anything other than chain maille encased in heavy leather could be overcome.

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.
