Their retail locations are all .com.au so you'd have to have one imported. Never heard of them though.

its hard to mess up tow straps. you could go to walmart and get them for <20 bucks...... that way you wouldnt have to pay shipping, etc.

You can buy them online too, if that's your desire, and not from Austrailia. Try DesertRat.com or 4wheelers supply

Yeah - but.....If you have ever seen one break with pressure on it, you would want the best you could get the next time. These things have a lot of force when they break, and can cause a lot of damage and some horrific injuries if someone is standing in the wrong place when they break. Always lay a jacket or blanket or something on both ends of the strap to help control the loose ends if it should break, and never stand within range of the strap while someone is pulling with it. I would get the best one you can afford with the highest strength you can get. JMO

Agreed, the reason im lookin at straps at the moment is i recently had one snap and leave a nice reminder in my tailgate. my buddies strap 4x40 rated at 80,000pds snapped and found its way to my tailgate. i wouldnt pull anything other than a vw bug off the side of the road with a strap from walmart, much less a full size truck with 40s buried up to doors
