I have not chained up in 30 years why start now? I just avoid areas where you are required to chain! As a matter of fact, Im not sure I would even know where to start when putting on a set of chains! heck if its snowing that hard, do what I do, get off the road and wait for it to stop!

I'm with instigator, if the roads are that bad, pull over and sleep.

I'm not sure if those meet the chain up requirements in most states?

I punched in the www. Address...

I know..no one LIKES to chain...if they say they like it they are lying...it just aint fun. But when you want or have to, this is so nice...even for the pros that throw iron multiple times a day. Again, I'm just a driver and have no reason to "promote" the Truckers Chain Up Tool other than it makes the whole process so much faster and eaiser...for about $50...it's a no brainer!
Check out the Truckers Chain Up Tool at: http://www.chainuptool.com/index.html
They are available in single, triple rail and even super single tires. This company needs to do more advertising, they are hard to find, hope it helps, let me know what you think!

When I punch in the www.chainuptool.com address it seems I cannot get in to inquire about purchasing this product. I need to find out if they ship to Canada. I have major damage in my shoulder so this would be a great tool for me.
