    There you go, I've fixed it for you.

    I thought this thread was about snatch straps though.

    Hi,
    Nobody would snatch on a winch line?
    Would they?

    Cheers

    All advice appreciated.
    Welcome to Sydney. You're probably feeling at home now with the heat and humidity we've been having lately.

    To try and answer your original question, it really depends on which part of Sydney you're living in. As a general comment, your nearest ARB store is probably a good starting point for recovery gear. The gear is basically of good quality but as they are franchises there are good ones and bad ones.

    Off the top of my head, a few places that I've had good dealings with: Mannell Motors in Thornleigh, ARB Penrith, Opposite Lock in Rockdale and Graeme Cooper in Newtown for more Landy specific stuff. There are a few others that I will avoid like the plague but obviously wont be naming here.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Hi Neil. Your nearest ARB store is Parramatta, 355 Great Western Highway South Wentworthville. They sell good quality gear for mine but I can't say I've done a lot of shopping around.

    Does this mean your Landy has finally landed?
    Cheers, Billy.

    Thanks for the welcome to Syd, Jon. Yep the hot weeks recently were a nice touch, and all the rain the past few days too.

    Tks for the tips where to go...

    Hey Billy!

    tks for the tip. Unfortunately my 'fender hasn't landed yet! Hasn't been uplifted. Was in KL for business meetings week before last and at least got to drive it for the week. It hasn't been started for 3mths or so. Surprised it started first crank! Nice!

    Hah Billy, your confidence is well placed. Yes, I have a pretty good grip on how, and when, to properly use a wide variety of recovery options. Even if I do say so myself.

    This most recent purchase enquiry was for a mate. But I have had snatch straps in my bag of tricks in the past. Haven't owned or used one in the last 10yrs or so tho I reckon.

    As others have pointed, out snatch straps can be dangerous ... no. Wait a minute. Snatch straps aren't dangerous at all. Oversized paperweights by themselves. Its the ACT of snatching a stuck vehicle that can be a dangerous pastime if not done properly.

    Same logic applies to pretty much every piece of recovery equipment, including the humble and oft overlooked shovel, and every recovery situation.
