Galvanized? Just go to you're nearest Dunkin Donuts, and they will link some of those puppies together for you and make a stronger chain than galvanized!... Galvanized coated steel is low end and very cheap. Most of us that buy a chain for anything, want it to last for, and secure what we are buying it for, in the first place!...

Everyone needs to know and understand what is called the [ tensile strength, will give most an idea of how long it will last and endure for any given situation.] [ Mild steel and some others ]... Now, and if you are looking for cheap, by all means, get the galvanized. If you want it to last longer, pay some more and do look at both tensile strength and also consider that Stainless Steel in the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee, or in our Atlantic Ocean will outlast and endure ANY Galvanized Apparatus...
