> 3 dayAfter accidently dragging/grinding my existing safety chains I decided to change to coiled safety cables. I really like how they stay off the ground. While I was at it I also added Curt 81830 17/32-Inch Certified Trailer Safety Chain S-Hook with Latch, 7,600 lbs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LOI6EM/ to the loop ends. They exactly match the factory installed ones on the cables. Its a bear to close them onto the cable though. I used a six inch heavy duty bench vise with a cheater bar to squeeze them closed. I took the opportunity to modify the mounting point on the trailer as well. These Curt products were the perfect options for the upgrade. Even though the coiled cables seem thin compared to the very stout s-links, they are certified to 7500 pounds.

> 3 dayI ordered this item to replace the safety chains on my equipment trailer. The original chains were not an appropriate grade for the trailer, but these cables individually exceed the trailer capacity. They are also much more user friendly, in comparison to chains. During use, the cable will remain in a semi-coiled position, thus eliminating ground drag. They attach to the tow vehicle effortlessly and stay connected via the S hook spring latch. I no longer have to worry about the hooks coming loose from the tow vehicle. I also have peace of mind that if they trailer becomes disengaged during towing that the cables will support the trailer and prevent complete separation from the tow vehicle. These cables are well worth the price and I highly recommend them. I will be using them on all my trailers now. After all, it is a small price to ensure the safety of others.

> 3 dayThe length, gauge and materials all seem excellent. I like that they curl up to take up the slack. My only gripe is that they are made in China, but most things are these days.
