      fair idea, just thought that if they were made and were as strong, when being pulled free it would spread the load, and a 'Y' would look better than 2 made to be that way, but its a good idea.

      could get a short really strong one and use that for the 2 shckles and then use the longer one for the length.

      wouldnt have thought of that unless i asked........

          i use a set of chains in yorkshire we call em 2 legs they are lifting chains but i like to use them for towing heavey things out
          i have single one and a 2 to 4 legs
          if they make tow ropes in that way (with the 2 legs on)
          i can say it would be far better than just the one end
          but you need 2 points of ankerage to use them

            It's called a 'bridle'.

                Chains are meant for lifting not pulling.

                      I've got a looped strap from someone on here who had a load of unused ones used to loop around stuff... rated and everything.
                      If I needed to use it, it would be ideal, as I could loop around both shackles and then provide double thickness strap to shackle the standard, or doubled up strap to....

                      and in the meantime, it works really well as a lifting strap/harness for two humans...
