Unibear 530 o-ring chain by Japan Technology

[Rusty-Gunn]

Hi. I saw Unibear 530 o-ring chain, by Japan Technology, on Amazon.
They say its 9,400 pounds tensile strength. Prices were good.
Has anyone used Unibear chains on the amphibs?
Any info regarding this brand of chain is welcome. Any discussions? Thank you.

I am using Tsubaki Chain and it is made in Japan. It is Expensive but all I hear about it is that is Really good and strong. I bought all my #50 and #40 off e/bay at a real good savings if you have time to wait for it to pop up.
I tell you it is a Heavy duty chain that you can see and feel when you take it out of the box .

Thank you Wedge. Tsubaki is my first choice in chain. I've used
Chain sold by MFGSupply (Raider brand), as well.

I wanted to learn more about Unibear from actual users.
I did disvover Unibear is made in China. Why "Japan Technology" I have no idea.
They claim the same atributes as Tsubaki (same as Raider).

If thy are the same in strength then it comes down to Price ? I had tie while I was bulding to wait it out for the chain to post at a good price so I made out well on all that I needed !

Luxury of time does help. I found that a lot of sellers won't ship to Alaska, and I miss out on some deals.

I am sure your in a Bind on shipping to Alaska !?
My Wife wants to move there and I would go for it if I could afford it ? She tell me thy will pay you to move there and settle down ?? I don't know so she keeps telling me to see about it .
But it is what it is.
Let me know if I can help as I don't see why I couldn't ship items to there ?

Thanks for the generous offer, it is appreciated.
MFGSupply ships to Alaska, so I just order their Raider
530 chain. My Max IV has this chain on it, two years now, no issues.
The primary chains are near the end of adjustment, so they will be replaced.

Learning about alternatives on parts, wirh a good price,
and shipping to Alaska, is on on-going thing for me. Hence asking
about the Unibear chain.

Alaska won't pay anyone to come up here. But
residence can apply for a free annual dividend (1000 dollars
each person right now). Living here is more expensive, especially
the farther north one goes. Income is usually higher though. Absolutely beautiful up here.
