Are these the best and cheapest Recovery Point ever designed????

Here is an open letter to Island Nomad that i am sending about some comments that were made this week.

Dear Island Nomad,
Thanks for the info about my recovery points, since i dont know you and you have never used my recovery points or taken the time to call me or message me about them, then I will disregard you attitude towards me and my products.
I dont need to justify myself to you or anyone else as my sales are more than your unproven comments.
No one has ever let me know of a failure with my recovery points.
They may not be perfect but they are mounted to the chassis and the engineer i showed them to said the HT bolts would snap before the recovery point broke.
I am only 30 min drive from you and a ferry crossing, so not far to come to have a look at my products, I often travel to Nth Stradbroke Island doing 4wd tours, so I could have dropped off a set for you to try out.
I am happy to consider any changes to the styles I make.

Regards Philco

Thread re-opened but with a warning PLAY NICE.

OK I had 4x4 Itellegence points, had them for 7yrs, never had an issue and had been recovered many times, even with the camper in tow, so they do work well, designed by Tombie originally, Philcos are very similar and from all accounts unbreakable as well.

APT Fabrication also do a similar design, so the design works.

Does anyone do a recovery point for a P38A (not that I'd need one)?

Due to a lack of choice that I was happy with, I've settled for these two:

Looks like a pair of Jate rings?

So, tell me, what's going to happen when you try and snatch off them? Will they not just rotate up into the crush can, distorting it and the bumper bar?

Whilst they're double shear, I don't believe a single bolt is really satisfactory, make sure you use both points and a bridle.

Still dunno why you don't like the Philco style... I'd like to see some evidence to support your dismissal of them.

I don't have a bulbar, yes Jate Rings. The military swear by them...

See the store has retracted the item from sale.
