How to Put Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains Back in the Storage Bag

Published 12/12/2014

Question:

How do you get them back in the bag? Ive tried everything to roll, twist, tie and I end up with more than I can handle. Is there a special trick, a secret handshake, a video? Let me know. Regards,

I went out to the warehouse and pulled Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW2028C to figure out the best way to put them back in the bag after use.

First, make sure that you lie one chain on top of the other. Then, at the end that has the large cam attachment pieces, fold those in towards the center of the chains. Then start rolling them up. Going slowly will help to maintain a tight roll. Once you have rolled them up you will have some straight pieces at the ends sticking out that you can just tuck into the roll. You should also be able to tighten up the roll some.

Then grab the roll at the center and stick one end in the bag and work it all the way to one side. Then you can work the bag around the other end and zip up the bag. There isn't really a trick to it but after you have done it a few times successfully you will be a master at cable chain rolling and storage.
