A chain is a series of connected links. This article is about the literal, physical chain. A chain may consist of two or more links.

A chain is usually made of metal

Chains are usually made in one of two styles, according to their intended use:

  • Those designed for lifting, such as when used with a hoist; for pulling; or for securing, such as with a bicycle lock, have links that are torus shaped, which makes the chain flexible in two dimensions (The fixed third dimension being a chain's length.)
  • Those designed for transferring power in machines have links designed to mesh with the teeth of the sprockets of the machine, and are flexible in only one dimension. They are known as Roller chains, though there are also non-roller chains such as block chain.

Chains can also be decorative as jewellery.

Where can i find snow chains in bellevue?
Q. I am looking to purchase snow chains for my Toyota Corolla. I am just wondering what's the best place to find snow chains to purchase in the 98007, Bellevue area. I've tried Costco but apparently they're sold out. I've also tried Goodyears but still no luck. Anyone know if any other locations carry them still? Do not mind if they are new or used.

A. A little bit away from 98007 there is a NAPA, Carquest, and Schuck's. You could try some of the car dealerships is Bellevue also. They might be able to help you. Chains are a hot commodity in the Seattle area at the moment.

How can I connect a swing set's chains to the metal pipe?
Q. I'm in Africa (no huge hardwares nearby) and am getting a swing set welded together for my little boys. I'm wondering what some safe, strong options are for connecting the swings' chains to the metal pipe (at the top of the swing set). Thanks in advance from two little boys and me, their dad!

A. drill hole in the metal pipe. put in eye bolts, connect chain to bolts with a S connector dont weld it , cause the motion of the chain could weaken the weld and could casue harm!
