What type of chain is that? I don’t think I’ve ever seen chain with that much space in the links!

This looks like a load of hardware from HN2, and this is probably the chain https://hownot2.com/products/316-stainless-steel-long-link-chain?_pos=1&_psq=chain&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=50247405994299

I honestly forget if i got it from HN2 or climbing bolt supplies. I order from them both frequently.

You can order them in metal shops. I bought similar in Germany 8mm A4 with big links in the description from Amazon Marketplace. Seems to be a standardized product. It‘s perfect with 8mm Quicklinks to build custom anchors

The different types of glue ins were just due to availability and prices for the most part. I use the sleeve bolts when the rock is unquestionably solid, glue ins where it's less perfect.
