Snow chains

Getting ready for more global warming this winter..



We had a couple of occasions this past winter, when we needed to go out,
but our street was too loaded with snow.. So, we stayed home.

So, We now have snow chains for both of our cars (FWD cars).
Now, if we really need to make tracks, we'll be able to..

My problem is upper body strength is getting weaker as I near 70..
Hooking those links up to that round rubber band is a young man's job..
I had to use a looped rope (like a pulley) to get the tension needed.
So, I just ordered some ten inch bungees..

Anyone here have any experience using this type of chain?

Maybe give me some pointers?
Thanks,
