here are a couple examples of why to not use a chain.



when a chain breaks it has the potential to snap back and go through glass, tailgates, your head, ect. very dangerous. thats also the reason to never yank off a hitch ball either, ive seen one of those go through a tailgate before. when a proper snatch strap with looped ends (not hooks) is used and properly attached to both vehicles (using clevis's) the chance of breakage gets smaller and if the strap does break they dont cause near as much damage as a chain.
