Chain in a Tube

Here's a way to keep your chain saw chains in some semblance of order -- while also preventing cuts to your fingers. Robert Schornick, Yates Center, Kansas, used a length of PVC long enough to hold chains and glued a female threaded collar to one end. Into a male threaded plug, he drilled two holes large enough to accept a 1/4-inch U-bolt. Onto the U-bolt, Schornick screwed a lock nut to each side and then slid the ends up through the holes. They are held in place by a pair of wing nuts. When ready to use, he loops the chains through the U-bolt, slides the U-bolt up through the holes in the plug, tightens the plug, and it's ready to be stored.
