The Protector 16mm chain, impossible to bolt crop by hand. A ground anchor/chain/lock combination is only as good as its weakest link and there are many inferior chains on the market. Be wary of chains that are described as "resistant" to bolt cropping. The wait is over! The Protector 16mm chain is now available.The Protector 16mm chain is made from high grade boron steel bar, is impossible to bolt-crop by hand and is supplied with a tough sleeve to protect your valuables, brightly coloured to be obvious to a would-be thief.

The Torc ground anchor was designed with 16mm chain compatibility in mind. It is the only multiple fixing ground anchor that folds and rotates that will accept the 16mm Protector and other 16mm and 19mm chains.

These high grade Protector 16mm chains really are impossible to bolt-crop by hand. The thieves use Irwin Record 42" bolt croppers as their tool of choice. They are expensive, but of course they don't always buy them... The Protector 16mm chains are impossible to crop even with this powerful tool. Indeed, if you keep trying to crop one of these chains, it is likely to be the jaws of the bolt croppers that break! If you are considering a chain from another manufacturer, ask if they will guarantee it as impossible to crop with Irwin Record 42" bolt croppers.
