After reading a good write up in the archives on chains I decided to go with new. The point that was pushed was you never know what the chain has been shock loaded to. He also mention never lend or borrow a chain because he has had them break using them below the rated strength. The new modern stuff has better alloys. I have a Hook/Chain adapter that is real big but proofed for only 3,000 lbs stamped right on the side. It also has a manufacture date of April 28, 1910! It has been used in logging for a long time!
