Just a heads up, 80ft of 5/16" G70/G80 chain plus 4 load binders for $111 shipped is a great price on paper, but the deal isn't as great as you might be thinking depending on what you want the load binding kit for. If you mainly just want the chain (or if you don't need 80' of chain), there are similarly priced (on a price per foot basis) options available elsewhere at this time.

-20' of Harbor Freight G70 5/16" chain would cost you about $37.50 if you happen to have a rare 25% off coupon.

-$36 shipped for a single 20' chain is the best price for G70/80 5/16" chain I could find anywhere online.

I am saying all this, because the Vevor load binders have pretty poor reviews on Amazon, so they might not be of much value to many people.

The poor ratings are mainly a result of the removable handles not attaching securely and/or slipping out easily while ratcheting the mechanism, but multiple reviews also state that the chain binders have no markings or identification anywhere on them to indicate their grade or load capability. According to law, that means their legal load rating for commercial use would be equal to that of grade 30 chain (2,650lb WLL for a 3/8" size stamped chain binder). That's not high enough for most applications where this chain setup would be commonly used. For personal use, you could likely get away with using the load binders to transport heavier loads (because there are a lot less regulations for personal transport), but that doesn't mean it would be wise.

I bit. That's worth it for the chain alone. I'll probably just sell the binders on FB and recover at least half the purchase price easily.

That chain used to be $30 per 20' length from HF with a coupon pre-covid.

Not sure if it would apply to the entire binder but chain that has the gold finish is considered to be grade 70. The binders have the gold finish on the chain and hooks.

I did also. Seems like a great deal. I understand that the handles do not stay retained in binders, but that seems to be the only real complaint. I think I will hoard away the complete set for future car/equipment trailer use.

There should be 6 sets left on Amazon at the time of this post.

Let us know how those work out for you. I'll take a pass for now, but will need a set of these "someday." I have a trailer to rehab first, with no immediate plans to use it.

I already have 4 ratchet binders and 8 lever binders. I think I'm good! But one can never have too much chain. I'm probably going to cut these chains in half (or into 3rds). It ***** using a 15-20' chain when you only need 3-6 feet to chain something down.

EDIT: not the same as the needle-nose style posted above! My mistake.

The NWS version is available for $38.50:


But I can understand paying a few dollars more to complete an Irwin set.

I wish I could find the German-made Irwin end cutting pliers for a good price. I picked up all the other pliers on clearance from Lowe's many moons ago for just a couple dollars each.

When you find one, order 2. Same ones I've been needing to complete the collection. Multiple of the linesman, pistol grip, diagonal cutters, but none of the end nippers.

Why do I need them, OCD. Obsessive Completion Disorder

Mine arrived yesterday. It’s a tiny little thing but exudes quality. It’s a specialty piece for sure but worth having in my toolbox combined with a set of low profile sockets. Here is a picture with a couple items for scale, definitely a two finger ratchet for my large hands.
