So I had a break before an event yesterday and decided to just go wander around the local Walmart to kill time and came across their hardware section to find these guys:
They are made by Peerless, but I've never seen a quick link with a stamped rating on it. Not sure of the safety factor, but on their website they don't categorize these for overhead lifting (though I know that's a somewhat contentious term in another thread).
Just wanted to share and see what the thoughts were since I've only ever heard of Maillon Rapide making rated links. They had all sorts of interesting things too, cable clips, thimbles, wire rope, turnbuckles, and proof coil chain. Most of it was made by Peerless, but a few were some off-brand China stuff. Kind of scary to think about the people that might buy this stuff and what they might engineer.
