I don't think the unique diversity of our great nation was adequately represented in that video.

I would much rather have the chain than the tow strap, but I only use a BIIIGGGG chain.

Hey I was gonna post that video

Anyways no matter what any of you do (especially you retards using chains) don't ever hook your straps or chains together with Clevices. I see people doing this **** and it blows my mind. Nothing like getting killed while you're out having fun...

CK..that is a good video huh lol....
And If you guys wanna win 99% of your tug o war... get a roll bar "not light bar".. and talk the other guy into letting you hook to the top of your roll bar..instead of your bumper.. let him hook to his bumper... the more he pulls the more weight is put on you rear tires

Hey retard... check out what this strap did to a dodge ram.

its a long video. but it does some serious damage, 2' to the left and there would have been carnage.

Enjoy your strap.

+1 I use a heavy chain. (use 5/16" Grade 70 16000LB WLL)
Had those 10,000lb maxstraps pop and come back at me one time to many. I use the straps to wrap around what I am towing, then hook it to the chain.
NEVER GET A STRAP WITH HOOKS OR USE D-SHACKLES.Its known as the canon ball.

Edit: typo and added more info.

What the hell are you talkin about? It didn't break his window or anything. If that'd been a chain or if that strap had been held together with a clevice it would have slammed through the back window and could have killed him. Obviously you could still get hit with a strap if you're hanging out the window like a retard, but that's your own fault.

gee, I wonder why that tow strap snapped? he might as well have tied it to a train and tried to pull that.

Who floors it to tow somebody out anyway?
