Default Re Swivels (was): NE Ropes 3 Premium strand

Yes. The 5/16 to 1/2" version. For the $30 difference I see no need to
risk the smaller one.

BTW, That was a pretty good price but I just looked in the Yellow Pages
under "Industrial Supply" and called a couple of local companies at random
asking about 3/8" Grade 43 hot galvanized. Campbell was $756/drum plus $60
shipping and $45 sales tax. Total $861 or $2.15/foot. It would be
$2.35/foot for half drums. ACCO was about 15 cents/foot higher. This is
the same chain that WM wants $4.49/foot for.

It really doesn't matter which chain you get as long as you don't mention
anchors, boats or marine when you ask for the price. :-)

Had to go try it to make sure. The answer is a definite maybe. I have
three S200s in stock and tried all of them. It fit fine on 2 of them but
not the third. If you want to buy one and try it I will buy it off you if
it doesn't work.
