I`m looking at replacing my 3/8-10mm chain. For reasons of handling,the gal chain usually comes in 50kg/22M lengths, so I need to join them. Joiners are essentially a split link in 2 parts you attach between the two ends. You effectively rivet the joiner by hitting the "rivets" with a hammer.
Question: Do I use ss or gal joiners? I prefer gal underwater for its malleability, but bashing the rivets with a hammer won`t help the galvanizing, so I`m minded to go ss. Thoughts?
