    Snatch strap recommendation

    Time to buy a stretchy snatch strap.

    It will be for the D1 and then County. I had assumed that I should just buy the 11T one if I can afford it (I can), but doing some reading it seems maybe an 8T is better suited?

    What weight rating should I get?
    Links to a good choice where I can buy online? (I.E. any brands I should choose / avoid)

    Cheers.

    Stick with the smaller one, still 3-4 times the vehicle weight. Use a big one and it will have much less flex with lighter load.

    A snatch strap is no better than the hitch points on the 2 vehicles, use carefully and as a last resort, Regards frank.

    Beacuse a winch is usually bolted to the vehcles chassis rails versus people often snatching from anything that looks handy and also because of the dynamic loads created.

    Cheers

    I've heard of plenty of broken hitches off either the towed or towing vehicle flying through the air and taking peoples heads off, NEVER seen or heard of a winch doing the same and if you can't see the problem maybe you shouldn't be playing with snatch straps, Regards Frank.
