Today we're going to be taking a look at the Laclede threaded quick link. This sturdy link provides a quick link for chains, cables, roaps, or straps. It's going to feature the threaded keeper right here, then it simply just screws shut. It's easy to open and close and connect and disconnect. No tools are required. If you would like to use a wrench to tighten or loosen you can do that.
A 7/16 inch wrench or 11 millimeter would work well for this unit. It's made from a steel construction, it's going to have a nice zinc coating which is going to do a great job at resisting rust and corrosion. The working load limit is engraved right here on this portion of the link. It's going to say 880 pounds. The diameter is a quarter of an inch.
If we take a measurement of the opening, simply just measuring that gap right there, it's going to measure 5/16 of an inch. I do want to point out that the threaded portion right here, is slightly larger in diameter than the actual diameter of the link. Again, the link itself is 1/4 of an inch, the threaded portion is going to be a diameter of about 5/16 of an inch. We're going to go over the internal and external measurements. Internal, the opening length, that's going to be around 1 3/4 inches. The width of the opening at the bottom of that barrel portion, that's going to be about 9/16 or 5/8, right in that area.
If we measure the flat side of that barrel, that opening's going to measure about 1/2 of an inch. External, so from very edge to very edge, we're looking at about 2 1/4 inches. Then width, edge to edge, we're looking at about 1 3/16 to 1 1/4 inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the Laclede threaded quick link.

Quickly connect chains, cables, or straps with a convenient threaded link - no tools needed! Also creates a secure tie-down or hook-up point when anchored to your trailer, cargo carrier, or hitch.If these had a little deeper engraving and included the break strength I would give it 5 stars! Otherwise, exactly what I was looking for. My trailer safety chains are a little long, so I wanted a way to shorten them without cutting them. A lot of quick links I found were not advised for trailers, weight bearing, etc (defeats the purpose of a rated link but lawyers I guess), so these definitely fit my needs. Safety first!
Great product. I was able to attach the chains that are on the trailer with the chains I bought to lengthen the chains.
Service was great and fast, it looks very good and it works the way I wanted it.
This the second time we have purchased these links. They work great for what we use them for and I would recommend them.
exactly what I was looking for.
