Video Transcript for Review of Durabilt Chain Binders - Ratchet Chain Binder Set With Grab Hooks - DU22HR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder with Grab Hooks. Now this ratchet chain binder is equipped with two integrated grab hooks for everyday versatile cargo control. This is a lighter duty ratcheting chain binder, so this is going to be commonly used for utility trailers and on farms where you need versatile equipment to secure loads of all kinds. This does have a safe working load limit of 4,700 pounds. And let me give you a measurement of this handle while I've got it here.

So just measuring from the bottom of the handle all the way to the tip, as you can see, we're sitting right at about 10 3/4 inches long. So this handle's gonna give you leverage to add or reduce tension by the dual-function manual paw lever. And this is easy to use and a safe alternative to lever binder models that have severe recoil. The zinc-plated forged steel, 5/16 of an inch, as you can see here. Grab hooks are rated for up to G70 chain use.

As you can see, these grab hooks have a flat throat shape that are going to securely attach to your chains. Let me go ahead and give you an overhead look here, line this up in frame. And it's gonna be kind of tricky to do, but I want to try to give you a measurement from center of hook to center of hook, the closed length, so I have both of these screwed in, so I can give you the closed length there. So I'm gonna bring my tape measure up to the hooks here. So measuring on center, it looks like we're sitting pretty close to 21 and a quarter inches on that closed length.

And then when you have these hooks completely extended, you're gonna have an open length of about 29 and a quarter inches. And so the take up is going to be right about eight inches. Well, speaking of other measurements here, the length of our barrel is gonna be right at about 10 inches if you can see that there. So this high-strength forged steel and half-inch barrel screw system is gonna handle your lighter duty loads. This has a rust-resistant powder coat finish that's gonna hold up under regular use.

This is going to meet or exceed rather the FMCSA 40, CHP, CVSA, WSTDA, and DOT standards. And one final note, you don't want to use this for overhead lifting. These load binders are designed to work as part of a complete tie-down system. The overall capacity is going to depend on the safe working load limit of the chains that you choose, as well as the capacity of the load binders themselves. So the item that's being tied down must not exceed the combined working load limit of the lowest rate of components in your system. Well I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that our brief time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
