Q.  How long can I expect the tool to last?

 

A.  If used correctly the "Trucker's Chain-Up Tool"  should easily outlast the life of the chains you are using it with since you are only driving over the tool one time to install your chains.

 

 

Q.  Can I use the tool if I am stuck?

 

A.  The answer to that question would be a definite NO!  If you think about it, you have several tons riding on your tires.  If you are stuck and try to use the tool you will find that steel will bend in ways you never thought it could.

 

 

Q.  What if I am chaining up going uphill instead of on a flat surface?

 

A.  Imagine the tool being made of a softer material instead of steel.  It is designed to simply hold onto the tires while moving (1) revolution.  If you have to chain up going uphill make sure the differential lock is disengaged as to remove any torque from the tires while driving over the tool.

 

 

Q.  I have smaller tires than what are on a standard Semi, do you make different sizes?

 

A.  Although the tool is relatively universal because of its design there are still instances when the tires are either too small or too big.  If the tires are too small, try bending the sides of the tool in to tighten the grip.  If this does not work then you will need to contact us with the tire size and we can specially make the size to fit your tires.

 

 

Q.  I like the idea of a chain up tool.  Do you make a tool that will fit pick-up trucks and cars?

 

A.  We have made a prototype that will fit cars and pick-up trucks that worked very well.  If there is a demand for this size of tool then we will put it into production and offer that tool as well.

 

 

Q.  When I drive over the tool I notice it bends.  Is this a defect?

 

A.  With the weight that is driving over the tool it is normal for the tool to bend.  The "Trucker's Chain-Up Tool" is made from a gauge of steel that can easily be bent back to shape by the driver, yet still durable enough to keep tension on the tires.

 

 

Q.  How do I chain up my front drive axle?

 

A.  Chaining the front axle is the same as chaining the rear, except you will need to back up.  Just be careful that chains clear your quarter fender.
