Advice On Chain Rivets Please

[Woodworks]

There are correct straps for the type of chain being joined.

 

Yes got a pack with the roll of chain.

Stupid question, why did you not cut and join the chains youself if you have reels of chain?

Another senior moment.

Thank you for all your helpful comments. I will contact the supplier to (hopefully) get this sorted out.

Yes a poor bit of riveting, needs punching out and re doing with a new pre set tie strap.

 

No it just needs a bit more pressure with the rivet spinner by the looks of it. Very bad for a supplier to be selling chains like that though in my view

But first " seat " the tie straps properly .

The companies made an error, let them know and they should replace them/ join them properly, along with your additional p+p costs. Stress the inconvenience and you'll probably get a free chain.

 

I can't see any need to contact trading standards etc unless the seller refutes that there's a problem. Tell them Arbtalk said the chains are unfit for purpose:lol:

Bit like a dealer local to me who'd fitted the tie strap upside down so it caught on the sprocket each time making a tight spot. Sorted it on site with a file but did let them know about it.
