Apex Tool Group ASC MC168503002 Low Carbon Steel Case Hardened Proof Coil Chain, Zinc Plated, 5/16" Trade, 5/16" Diameter x 2' Length

Its a chain. Seems to be pretty high quality steel. I have had it outside for a few weeks now as a tie up for my dog - no evidence of weathering or rust.Edit: To provide more information about the ASC Low Carbon Steel Case Hardened Zinc plated chain from Apex Tool Group - I am still using this product on a daily basis. Even with the constant abuse of being out in the weather, I have yet to notice any signs of premature wear or rust. Would not hesitate to recommend to a friend or family member. If you are in need of a chain, look no further. Just make sure you get some sort of quick link or something that will allow you to form a loop if that is what you need.

I purchased this chain to use as part of my cable workout system. I needed something to give extension to some of the attachments.For my purposes this chain was overkill as it is high quality and thick. This makes it difficult for it to clip into the cable attachments for that reason, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the chain.If your NOT needing something heavy duty then I would look elsewhere to save a few bucks.

Needed a small length of chain to lock my grill up on my patio, and this was the perfect length. I was shocked at the gauge of the steel given the price, I expected a rinky little chain, but this thing is solid, and each link is welded closed rather than just being bent. Exceeded my expectations for a cheap price.

I ordered a chain and a chain arrived. The chain that arrived works like a chain. Not much more to say.

Disappointed that the link inner gaps were just a tad smaller than what was expected. I have some other chains with the same thickness links but the gap in the middle is slight larger. I wasn't able to use this on the home gym with the current quick snap links and thumbscrew link fasteners. I was able to put it to use elsewhere in the house so no great loss and it is what it purports to be: a chain ;)

This chain is great for flailing and swinging hard, but it doesn't make that great of a lasso. I don't own livestock, I am a simple hair salon and boutique. The newest trend right now is chain extensions. When someone tries to dip out without paying, I throw out my chain and try to wrap em up and pull em in. Once I've done so, my merry men of pain will squeeze the thief's head until money pops out of their nose. This chain has about a 62% success rate. The remaining 38% account for $26 million in lost revenue every month. I will be purchasing a chain from a different brand in the future, that is for sure.

Great chain - purchased to lock down our generator outside. Haven't needed to use yet, but bad people better have some hefty bolt cutters or a plasma torch

I got this to chain my fence closed. I didn't want 100 feet of the stuff so I was happy I could order it in a small length. It works really well outdoors. If anything, it's overkill. Someone could easily break through my chain link fence long before they would break through this chain.

Used the chain to add two feet to my lower cable pull (attached to power rack). It's perfect, and makes doing chest flys possible though the additional length.
