Medium Duty Hammer-Close Connecting Links—Not for Lifting
Drive the end through the eye using a ball peen hammer and then weld or flatten the extended end to close. Also known as cold shuts, these links are an economical option to join chain links and attach fittings. They must be completely closed to perform at capacity. Never reuse links after they've been closed.
Zinc-plated steel links are mildly corrosion resistant.
