Works on the principle that a lighter object (your vehicle) can move a much heavier object (a truck or 4WD) when used with forward momentum. Strap stretches out and then "snatches" the stuck vehicle out of snow or mud ? no damage to the drivetrain of towed or towing vehicle. Rot and mildew resistant ? won't absorb mud or water.


6x30 strap is 121bux

The theory's pretty sound but, I'd be worried too much stretching and snapping would cause it to bust ike a rubber band.

This is the correct theory on how a recovery strap works,
let the strap do the work (rubber band theory).

The only issue I see is that the loops are un protected, a quality recovery strap will have the loops wrapped in leather to prevent fraying of the loop ends...
for $120 strap.. that is what I would expect.

Check the other postings in this section for the same style strap around $100

That is the difference between a recovery strap and a tow strap.

jerk straps... snatch-em straps what ever they are called they work great. alot of people use lifting straps. those don't give. alot of different companys make them. the one i use is a snach-em strap.
