Snatch strap ...what strength?

[Stevesnj]

Been looking at TJM snatch straps and they come in different strengths, working load limits I guess it is. My truck weighs 5742 pounds. Weighed it a few months ago. Choices are 6, 8, 11, 15 Kilos- 13.2, 17.6, 24.2, and 33.0 Pounds respectively.

I just don't know which is appropriate for my vehicle and don't want to buy the wrong one.

thanks for help

Go with ASR or Bubba Rope unless you're wanting the fancy colors.

Did you want more of a tow or light snatch strap or a more "boing boing" bounce me out strap?

Most regular snatch straps you see, just like ours, stretch around 10%. Kinetic Recovery Ropes stretch around 25-30%.

For a strap I recommend around 2.5-3x break strength, same with a kinetic rope but go a bit to the higher end because you will be pulling harder.

Remember you have to get closer to break strength to get more stretch but don't get too close and break your strap or rope.

For a kinetic rope I suggest 7/8" diameter and for a strap 2 or 3" depending on how you plan to use it.

We give MUD discounts too.

I plan on getting a winch so this will be a tow out and snatch. Don't need the boing So 3x the weight of my truck? so 15k WLL?

WLL is a rating for overhead lifts, and is generally 1/4 of breaking strength.

Theses straps are rated at braking strength. So a 3 inch strap with a breaking strength of 24,000, if it were rated (which these are not) would have a WLL of 6000 pounds.

There is no downside for the uses you describe, in a stronger strap, so get a 3 inch strap. For most uses a 3 inch 30 foot strap is about right.

Looks like the TJM Orange should be just right. Thanks all for your help!

I can't see that actually working. I usually roll up my tow strap like a fire hose and it can be quickly rolled out with a simple bowling motion.

Half the point of a storage bag is to have a place to store your dirty and wet strap. You lose that when you throw the bag into the mud along with the strap. Then you need a bag for your bag, which seems a little redundant.
