They are the kittens mittens, you can see in the rim on his spare a T shaped handle, you just put it in the hole on the cam and twist it. Way quick to tighten chains up, and much easier than conventional style where you add bungees and drive over them to work the slack out. I drove on a set on the trails during river shiver for about 15 hours or better of wheeling and had no issue with them working loose.
(didnt mean to butt in to answer a question not directed at me)
I’m looking for a set of off road tire chains for the back country during winter or rainy/muddy days. Im looking at the Wesco Scorpion tire chains, but at $340 ea. The V-Bar chains run around $260 for a set. Any thoughts?

The V Bar are plenty, and less money than the scorpions. Have run V Bar on heavy work trucks in Sierra Nevada snows for the past few years. Only issue is storage in off season - if you don't oil them, they will rust, since the coating isn't the best. Oil them, then hang them up, and they're great.
Thanks for the info, I’ll have to look for a good quality set, I used my normal set of chains the other day and one of the links broke off, so one of the tread chains was flopping around, I noticed on the cam, they were made in China.
When working with Merceds-Benz on the procurement of the G-Wagon for the Canadian military, we ordered chains from PEWAG. Likley one of the best in the world, if not the best, but $$$. I actually visited the plant in Austria where they were made. Very impressive stuff for sure.
