We currently make and sell the ChainCheater (patent pending), a device that allows commercial truck snow chains to be installed tight, the first time!
No extra tensioning required! firstlinkchains.com
This video goes in tandem with the short one we posted earlier today. The two videos describe, visually and verbally, how using the ChainCheater can be better than chaining up the old way.
Check out our side-by-side comparison when using a ChainCheater vs no ChainCheater. Not using the Cheater requires a second stop to re-tighten loose chains, while using the Cheater is one and done!
Here's a video showing the difference between chaining up with a ChainCheater vs without a ChainCheater. Check out our website for more info, including pricing and ordering! Link in the comments below.
And yes, we had some flubs today, starting with the door not wanting to close and using the Cheater with the reflective tape on the inside of the wheel. What can we say? We're only human, too!
Here's a video for all of you asking if the ChainCheater works with singles!

Thank you EVERYONE who has helped support our launch for this new tool in commercial trucking! We only have 60 units left until we begin preorders for the shift to commercialization. It has been a WONDERFUL journey and all because of your support and interest. Have a wonderful drive everyone.
Unedited chain-up using a slightly older version of the ChainCheater. The new ones have "thumbs" on the outer wings, helping keep the chain tight against the wheel.
