Pliers to tighten is interesting. I'm aware of trying to get links off in the cold......... but putting them on like that on purpose I might try. Thanks.

I would try to talk you outta using Quicklinks. From people being able to open them to coyotes chewing them up every now and again, I'd never use them unless the rig you're putting together has some sort of long drag or something.
Quick links resemble coyote chew toys.
Blessings, Mark

I to have used the 3/16 versions. I always tighten them with my pliers before even setting the traps.
And I use a short chain(10-12 inches) w/2-3 swivels attached to 18" of Berkshire ground stake.
No slamming the stake when short staked.

Every foot hold trap and every CR I own are connected to my staking system by a Quick link. Never had one chewed up.

Been using 3/16" quick links for about 8 years. I attach them to 15" pogos. I tighten them with pliers when I attach the cable stake.....at the truck/SxS.
I have never had a compromise or one crushed by a coyote.
I use the 1/8" (220 lb) links on beaver snares to attach extensions. Never had a beaver compromise one of those, but I would NEVER use the 1/8" for coyotes.
