Hey Joeplasmajoe wrote:Great idea thank you. I should mention one thing, please be careful using this piece of equipment, it is not an engineered lifting device. If something should happen you can be in deep waters. There are lots of steps to designing and fabricating lifting devices, I know I design and engineer them for a living.

As much as I like to build my own tooling and fixtures I must admit you are correct. Although the device may work 999 times out of a thousand there could be that one time it fails and someone gets hurt and guess who gets hauled into court and sued. I have been asked many times by customers to design and build things and I always look at the safety and liability end of things. If the person can go buy something that is already proven and works I advise them to go get it or I can make the deal and get it in for them. For personal use hey its great I used to farm for a living so I know you have to make due when you can. So please don't misunderstand the message here is not to attack your idea it's more to inform you from my experiences having been in the welding field for 30 plus years. ...

I'm sure your aware, and I myself am guilt of it, but that is not lifting approved chain. Again, just an FYI incase of the whole liability thing...

You want it to pinch the opposite way so the weight of the metal is used to pinch its self and lock it in.Here is a picture of the proper direction i did real fast in paint.
Hope I didnt step on toes just dont want to see anyone here get hurt doing what they love doing.
