00:00Wire Rope VS Chain Sling, Which Lifts More Safely, Voice Over Script
00:04Everyone argues chain versus wire rope, but here's what nobody tells you,
00:08chain is heavy, it kinks, and it rusts from the inside out.
00:12Wire rope fails loud, you see the fray before it lets go.
00:16So I went digging and found 5 stainless steel setups that cost less than a coffee.
00:21Let's go through them.
00:23First up, the Workhorse 10 Stainless Steel Wire Rope Clamps for $3.69,
00:28adjustable screw, copper ferrule inside.
00:31This is how you build your own sling instead of buying one.
00:35Nearly 5,000 people bought these and it's sitting at 4.9 stars,
00:39which tells you everything about how often people actually need them.
00:43Cheap insurance for a joint you don't want slipping.
00:46Next, this adjustable stainless cable sling at $2.87.
00:51The whole thing rotates 180 degrees, so you can hang a plant, a projector, a bike,
00:56whatever, and level it without fighting it.
00:59Under 3 bucks for something that holds weight and adjusts, and at 4.9 stars, people aren't
01:04complaining.
01:05If you want one grab-and-go hanger, this is it.
01:09Third one is the Proper Lifting Assembly 2-6mm Wire Rope, 1-10m, for colors, with fastened
01:16eye loops and safety snap hooks, $3.72.
01:20The eye loops are crimped shut, not clamped, and the snap hooks mean you're not messing
01:24with shackles every time.
01:26That's real lifting gear for $4.
01:294.8 stars across 1,500 buyers.
01:33Fourth is the slim version, 2mm stainless sling with fastened eye loops, $2.63.
01:39Barely thicker than a shoelace, and that's the point.
01:43This is a tether, not a crane.
01:46Hang lights, secure a gate, leash a cover down so it doesn't blow into next week.
01:51Cheapest thing here, still 4.8 stars, and worth having a couple in a drawer.
01:56So a chain for brute force, wire rope for everything you actually do at home.
