Video Transcript for Buyers Products Class 4 Trailer Safety Chain with 1 Clevis Hook Review
What's up everybody it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out these virus products, safety chain hook, and this is going to be replacing our old rusty one on our trailer you see it's seen better days and we kind of want to upgrade the one with the latch. So we're going to put that on there and check it out. Take a look at the chain. It's going to be 42 inches long. And then when you look at the links here, the links are going to have a three eighth of an inch diameter.
And it's also going to have a three eights of an inch hook here on the end. The chain also has a weight rating of 15,000 pounds, and it's also going to have a zinc coating on there. That's just going to help with that rust and corrosion. It's not going to happen as easily. I mean, they're not weather proof, but it is going to help fight that off.
Installation is really easy. We took off our old chain. So what we're going to do, is put it through the shackle right there. Just like that. Let me get my hand out of the way, and then we're gonna attach it to the trailer.
So its lining up with the hole there. I run this through the bottom. Now it's all set up. I'm going to add the Cotter pin in place and then we'll be done. I kind of have an older rustier one so its just going to fight me just a little bit but, not a big deal.
Get it started in there and come back with a hammer. Just give it a couple taps to help it go through. There we go. Now you can just pry those out on each side, And It will Keep that everything in place. Overall, safety chains will be a great addition to your trailer, especially if you're replacing an old worn out one, or you're just looking to upgrade and get you one of the hooks with the guard on there That way it just snaps into place When you go to attach it, and you can be on your way. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and I hope this helped..

This safety chain is absolutely incredible. Is the best quality I have ever seen and I have been doing this for over 30 years.
by: Demone07/30/2020
Heavy duty safety chains! I bought these to replace the coil safety cables for my boat trailer, exactly what I was looking for and the hooks work with both of my curt and drawtite hitches.
by: Alan 08/17/2023
WOW I am pretty impressed with this chain, we had some issues locating a reasonably prices set of chains and you folks knocked it out of the park. Thank you so much and you can count on my business to continue using your products & services.

I received my missing parts and I'm very comfortable continuing buying from e trailer

Chains appear to be heavy duty and good quality. INstalled them to replace the useless cables that our boat trailer came with for safety chains. Those rusted and broke in half! Was concerned whether the hooks would fit on our Tahoe but they fit fine. Recommend.
by: Keven04/10/2021
Timely email from etrailer asking me to review these chains. I just got back from the boat and was taking pictures of these chains because of how poor they looked. These chains have been trailered 8 times in the past year, otherwise kept in covered storage and they are rusting like crazy. Stay away

After searching the local areas here for these certain safety chains I was able to find them on etrailer.com The price was good and the shipping was much quicker than expected. Hands down great service!
by: Steve 11/11/2020
The chains are extra heavy duty and will serve me well, but the customer service at etrailer is exceptional. The original chains were out of stock, but they sent several options to chose from, should I chose not to wait. They are the best!
by: Anthony06/10/2018
Useing on the Reese Goosebox. The 5/16 chains were too small for the mounts on my 2015 Ram theses 3/8 safety chains are perfect.

See what our Experts say about this Buyers Products Trailer Safety Chains
- Safety Chains Compatible With Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain RetainerFor your Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Retainer # 3375471001 you will need a chain with a 3/8" diameter; you can use the 35" Buyers Products # 337BSC3835 or 42" # 337BSC3842. Both of these chains have a clevis hook and a maximum trailer weight capacity of 15,000 lbs.
view full answer... - Is There a Bolt On Bracket For Safety Chains on a TrailerI may have a solution for you but I'm not aware of a bolt on safety chain bracket or clevis that can be used. However you can simply take a safety chain set (or your existing chains) like the 42" Long Safety Chain with 3/8" Clevis Hook (15,000 lbs) # 337BSC3842 and use a grade 8 bolt to attach the chains directly to the trailer with a washer holding the bolt through the last chain link. I've linked some photos that show how to make this work for you but that would be my suggestion if you're...

- Recommended Solution to Bolt on Safety Chains to Utility TrailerI have a solution for you but I'm not aware of a bolt on safety chain bracket or clevis. However you can simply take a safety chain set like the 42" Long Safety Chain with 3/8" Clevis Hook (15,000 lbs) # 337BSC3842 and use a grade 8 bolt to attach the chains to the trailer with a washer holding the bolt through the last chain link. I've linked some photos that show how to make this work for you but that would be my suggestion. You will need to drill into the trailer frame for this, but...
view full answer... - Do Reese Safety Chain Kit With Clevis Hooks Have A Zinc CoatingThe Reese Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks - 44" Long - 20,000lbs - Qty 2 Item # RP49151 do have the protective zinc coating to prevent rust and corrosion. You may have seen a more silvered color chain like the Buyers Products 3/8" x 42" Class 4 Trailer Safety Chain with 1 Clevis Hook - 43 Proof # 337BSC3842, but even this chain has a zinc coating.
view full answer... - How to Choose Safety Chains for 12,000 lb TrailerThe safety chains you choose need to be able to handle at least 12,000 lbs so the # 337B03835SC wouldn't work for your trailer. You also need to choose a length that allows you to cross the chains and also be able to make sharp turns. The best way to determine the right length is to hook up your trailer and make a tight turn so you can measure the distance between the safety chain connections. For safety chains with a 15,000 lb capacity we have the # 337BSC3842 which are 42" long or the...
view full answer... - Is Buyers Products 43 Proof Chain Stronger than 30 Proof ChainYes, the Buyers Products 3/8" x 42" Trailer Safety Chain - 43 Proof # 337BSC3842 has a max gross trailer weight (GTW) rating of 15,000 lbs, so it's going to be stronger than part # 337B03835SC, which is a 3/8" x 35" safety chain - 30 Proof, rated at 10,000 lbs GTW.
view full answer... - What Size Clevis Hook is Needed for the Safety Chain Loops on the Curt Gooseneck Kit Part # C60618 The clevis hook on the Tow Ready Safety Chain Kit part # 49150 is 5/16" diameter. Therefore if this hook will not work with the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # C60618 then you will want to move up to a 3/8" diameter clevis hook like the one included with the Buyers Products Trailer Safety Chain part # 337BSC3842. This clevis hook should be large enough to accommodate the safe chain loops on the above Curt Gooseneck Kit. You will need two of them...
view full answer... - Length of Safety Chains to Use with Curt Gooseneck Kit for 2022 Ram 3500 with OEM Prep PackageDue to the wider spacing of the safety chain loops in the bed of your 2022 Ram 3500 when used with the Curt gooseneck hitch and safety chain loop kit # C58CR a longer chain like the 42 inch long chain set part # 337BSC3842 would be a really great option.
view full answer... - Can Quick Links be Used to Attach Safety Chains to TrailerWhen using safety chains, each component, including the quick links, must meet or exceed the GVWR of your trailer. So if you used a pair of safety chains that were rated for 12,000 lbs - to meet the 24,000 lb GVWR of your trailer - you would need to use quick links that were also rated for 12,000 lbs. The highest-rated quick links we carry are the Curt Safety Chain Quick Link # C82932 which is rated for 16,500 lbs and would not be enough for your 24,000 lb trailer. If you are unable to...
view full answer... - How are Old Safety Chains Removed from Trailer to Install New OnesThe Buyers Products 3/8" x 42" Class 4 Trailer Safety Chain with 1 Clevis Hook # 337BSC3842 is longer at 42 inches long and have a 15,000 lb capacity so they would work well for you. You'd most likely need to have the current ring cut or ground off so that you could then use something like the # 362ChainLoopU to weld on new loops and attach the chains.
view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck Trailer Safety ChainsFor a general-purpose safety chain for a standard gooseneck trailer we offer # 337BSC3842 from Buyers Products. This is a 42-inch chain with 3/8-inch clevis. The chain is rated for 15,000 pounds. This is sold as a single chain, not a pair. The 36-inch safety chains included with Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3109 are similar to chains like # RM3230 which include the D-rings needed to attach them. This item is intended for use with that specific adapter. We also...

- Safety Chain Hook Availability for Class V Curt HitchTake a look at part # 6495-401-04. This hook has a working load limit up to 5,400 lbs and the pin that connects through the chain is 7/16 of an inch in diameter. The Curt Clevis Hook, # C81970, has a 40,000 lb weight capacity and the pin that connects through the chain is just over half of an inch (.52 inches) in diameter. This hook was designed for heavy-duty applications such as gooseneck trailers, but it may work with your trailer if the chains are large enough. The width of the...
view full answer... - Adding Safety Chain Mounts To Pole Tongue Trailer After Installing Swing Away HingeI have some options for you as the CE Smith Tie-Down Bracket # CE26214G is not rated for attaching Safety Chain # 337BSC3842. Typically safety chains are attached through a Clip # 337SC58B as they should not be easily removable from a trailer. We do also have the Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Retainer # 3375471001 which can allow you to add chains. If you prefer to have a bolt on chain like the Safety Chain # 8880262 you will need to ensure where you are drilling is strong enough...
view full answer... - How To Attach Safety Chains To Trailer Tongue I am not aware of a bolt-on version of the Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Retainer part # 3375471000. However, if all you were wanting to do is mount your safety chains to the tongue of your trailer then you will just simply do so by running a grade 8 bolt though both the chain and frame like you can see in the two attached photos. If you were wanting to use the Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Retainer for a different application then just let me know what that is otherwise...
view full answer... - Do You Carry a Bolt On Trailer Jack Which Mounts to a Trailer Tongue With 2 Mounting Bolts Versus 3?All the bolt on trailer jacks we carry use the 3 bolt pattern which is commonly found on todays Couplers # DM14793-81. You may be able to replace your current jack with a Round A-Frame Trailer Jack # TJA-5000T-B. This will require a 2-1/4" hole opening for the jack to fit through as well as new mounting holes to be drilled into the mounting plate to secure the jack.

Thank you for your review. Although these chains are zinc plated it is a good idea to rinse them off with fresh water after being exposed to salt water.
