How It Works

How It Works

Chain tools and Strap Rollers, shown with the photos and instructions from our brochures.

Chain tools

When the sign says “chains required” and you have to roll, the key holds the cam in place with no twisting. The 12 inch handle gives plenty of leverage, and you can use both hands for stability.

Two tools in one

The Super Combo Tool and the Super Mini Combo Tool have a cam lock key on one end and a tire thumper on the other. The Ultimate Chain Tool has an integrated head for tire thumping.
