Poor Shackles Used.
Although I know these are not required in most states,I went ahead and purchased them. Better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. They are well made and would have received 5 stars were it not for two complaints. 1. The shackles are from China. Where I used to work we were not allowed to use Chinese shackles due to many documented failures. We literally destroyed hundreds of Chinese shackles so no one else could use them. Shame on Andersen, an American company touting "Made in the USA" and using cheap Chinese shackles in their safety hardware. 2. The shackles are 3/8". The have a WLL (Working Load Limit) of 1 ton with a 6 to 1 safety factor. So that is 12,000 LBS under best case scenario. If ever needed, it will be a shock load which is far from best case scenario. Why advertise a 24000 LB chain strength and not mention the weak link is the shackle. I hope their Andersen Ultimate hitch is engineered better than this.Edit: I am changing to 4 stars because I ordered the Andersen 3248 - Ultimate Connection Safety Chain Plate and it came with 2 ea. 1/2" quick links that are rated to 3300 lb WLL and 10,000 break strength. Far better than the 3/8 shackles. As far as I was concerned, the shackles were just for looks and so you will not get a ticket in states that require safety chains, but why have safety chains if there are sure to fail if you ever need them?

Overpriced for what this is
This kit is convenient, but overpriced.These appear to be designed to tick a box for those states that require safety chains for such hitches, a questionable requirement in the first place. The weight ratings on the various pieces don't add up to something that will withstand enough force to retain a fifth wheel travel of any significant size.If you need to tick a box, this kit will work, but at a premium. It is possible to spend less money and source stronger parts separately, but it can add up. I only purchased this kit due to a time constraint, otherwise would have procured better parts at more reasonable prices.Shop around carefully if you have the time to get better for cheaper.

Made in China
The Andersen installation manual for these safety chains is marked "100% USA made". This is NOT correct as the shackles and threaded eyelet are marked "CHINA" as shown in the picture. The end of the bolts are marked with NDF and this manufacturer is "Zhejiang New Oriental Fastener Co., Ltd"; another Chinese product. Unable to determine where the safety chain and hook were made but based on other components, guessing they are also made in China.Bought this as a safety backup and when pulling a 10,000 pound trailer would feel more confident with American made product vice a Chinese!

Fantastic chains saved us and our 5th wheel
Andersen makes great products and these chains are no exception. Strong and well made. They kept my 5th wheel from crashing when my 5th wheel hitch was not hitched and the trailer came off the hitch itself. These chains held it and allowed me to stop safely. What more can one ask, except for an RV dealer that knows how to hook a hitch up correctly. These chains saved us and our 5th wheel.

Safety Chains - Hope never to use
ok some states requuire safety chains and we are about to head on a trip. So on the safe side I bought and installed these. Install was easy, took 20 minutes. I know that others complained about knuckle quality etc and let me be upfront I know nothing about how to identify iron grade. Here is what I do know. This is a set that is rated for 24000 lbs so I hope that all components are properly rated. Just by appearance they look of heavy quality. Lastly, I hope these safety chains never ever get used.

Chinese Hardware
Although not advertised as being Made in the USA I made the giant leap assuming since, the Andersen company advertises heavily that their hitches are "Made in USA", that their "Safety Chains" would follow suit. Unfortunately, the hardware is clearly marked made in china. The actual bolts are not stamped "China" but a little research shows that they are made in China. Not sure about the chains but I suspect they're also Chinese.My entire engineering career there were significant issues with Chinese made fasteners. Now that I'm retired, not sure how wise it is to allow in my personal life for "Safety" purposes just because they're inexpensive.

I bought this safety chains kit to compliment the purchase ...
I bought this safety chains kit to compliment the purchase of an Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch 2, just so I'd have these in use in case I encountered any law enforcement officer who might incorrectly think the Andersen hitch is a gooseneck adapter instead of a true 5th wheel hitch. They also provide some piece of mind, in the highly unlikely event our 5th wheel RV would EVER become disconnected from the hitch. The chains and all other hardware are definitely high quality and fit exactly as needed. They're cheap insurance for improbable disconnects and in case law enforcement ever stops someone who's using an Andersen hitch with their 5th wheel RV.

the description doesn't match the picture
the description says it comes with the plate that goes around the ball, but the pictures don't show the plate. I took a chance on the fact that maybe it's the picture that was wrong not the actual description. Well, the picture is correct and the description is wrong. now I have to spend more money getting the rest of the parts.
