Recovery strap or rope

What's better yellow strap or that new bubba rope???

 

Never used that rope so I couldn't say. But I've never had a problem with the heavy duty tow straps.

 

Thanks to all

 

Never used Bubba ropes. Always used tow straps, even used a synthetic diamond braided rope with 400 lb pull weight to get someone unstuck.

 

I'm not sure I understand the "stored" energy from stretch and will need to think about one and under what circumstances it would be preferable. I have about 60' of heavy chain that has served me well. But, as a sailor, I really like Dyneema. It's light weight, super easy to make eye splices and has amazing strength to weight ratio. It's supposed to be stronger than equally sized wire rope.

 

Check out our USA Made Recovery (Snatch) Straps. They can pretty much handle any load you plan to throw at them. The nice thing about the Flat Material style strap is that they can be rolled up very nicely for easier storage. Our Wheeler's Straps have Cordura Wrapped Eyes as well as a Cordura Slider in case you have to pull against a tree or over a rock.

 

Thanks csuviper, a lot of good info there. I recently pulled a vehicle using the ball on my hitch...... Exactly what they say not to do.

 

I have a bunch of these. I have jerked on them (yes i know they are not meant for that) and only broke one once but it had been sitting in the bed of my truck for like 3 years or more getting rained on and sun beating on it. I also use them to extend my reach with my winch and some D-rings. They have been very stout and only that one semi rotten one broke from me jerking hard on it.
