Chains are awesome for sensation play. Different types create different reactions. I could type up paragraphs just on ways to use different types, so I suggest buying some different chains and experimenting on yourself with them. A few things to try: gather several ~1' lengths of heavy chain in your hand and "rain" it down on different body parts (especially the upper back and back of the neck); put chain in the freezer for a few minutes before using it; put it in warm (not very hot!) water before using it; if you have several feet of clean tow chain on hand or you're willing to buy some, make a chain blanket by snaking it back and forth across a prone person's body, starting at the neck and working down and then let him or her enjoy the heaviness for several minutes (possibly while you do things to his her head, feet, or hands); with a few pieces of long, light chain bundled together, you can sling it quickly at arms and legs so it wraps around, then pull it off relatively slowly (definitely test this on yourself first and learn how it works, so you don't accidentally injure somebody); run chains gently over every part of the body you can think of, including the face if you're using light chain. A few hopefully obvious caveats with chain are to check every single link before use to make sure there are no sharp edges, clean your chain well before use (dish soap and water) to get rid of any chemical residue/metal dust/other nasty stuff that might be on it, if you plan to insert chain then boil it for 20+ minutes or let it sit in 70% isopropyl alcohol for 10+ minutes in addition to washing it with dish soap, ask about metal allergies first, and stick to chains that are made of/have a coating of stainless steel or chrome (especially for insertion). Brass is ok if you don't plan to insert it. Never use galvanized chain. Stick to chains that have welded links only, not the kind that are twisted around on themselves or left open, which creates lots of little jagged areas. If they look smoothed down or if you don't feel any particularly sharp spots with your fingers, they can still catch the skin. Welded links are more expensive in general, but necessary, and don't skip over checking the welded links because sometimes they aren't perfectly smooth, either. If you find any sharp edges, file them down before cleaning the chain. Plastic chain will not produce the same sensations at all so even though it's more expensive, you need metal chains for most of the really fun sensations chains can produce.
Other sensation suggestions are sharps such as Wartenberg wheels and banjo picks, soft and smooth things such as silk scarves (check out your local thrift store) and rose or orchid petals, those wiry head massagers, steel ball whisks (apply pressure to different parts of the body and roll them on the skin--check amazon for "steel ball whisk"), emery boards or pumice stones applied gently, hard plastic combs with teeth at various spacings, paintbrushes or soft bristle hairbrushes, feather boas or a feather duster, vampire gloves...be creative. It depends on how sensitive this individual is. People react to different things, so have several things on hand and experiment if he can't tell you beforehand what sensations he likes. To heighten the sensations of anything, you can do sensory dep by putting a hood on him, or if you don't have a hood blindfold him and put in ear plugs.
Edited to add another caution about chains.
