There is something wrong with the site as far as the ability to translate commas, apostrophes, slashes, dashes, basically anything besides a comma or period. Very annoying since I like to use contractions.
Seeing the Metolius screwlinks at Pacific Edge got my attention last year. They are nice.
I get five sixteenths galvanized screwlinks with 3450lb breaking strength for 75 cents.
Three eighths are 2 bucks (4200 lbs). Both are discounted prices.
I use the bigger ones for anchors and the smaller ones for bailers or unusual equalization situations.
