What tow strap to buy, i did search (1 Viewer)

The heavier the strap (rating for strength I mean), the less it will stretch and cushion. That cushion is important to keep from breaking things on the rigs involved.

And I would be careful about using the stock '80 series recovery loops for a hard snatch... winching, no problem... but a real vigorous snatch can put a LOT of stress on them... and with a heavy shackle on the end of your strap, tuned loose by a failing loop.... could get ugly.



Mark...

That's why I added the 10mm thick plate of high tensile steel to my list of stuff for doing a snatch recovery. Personally I'd go with the weaker strap. I'd rather break a strap than a shackle, and a shackle over a mounting point.

big strap from tractor supply 70,000 lbs

It may be big and strong, but the thing to remember is it sized for much heavier vehicles with much stronger attachment points.
