Re: Come along, jerk strap
In my situation i had a come along but 2 x 20 foot tow straps with no
elasticity. (Yes with the metal hooks, I'm looking for snatch straps presently). My point is - the come along will be tedious with an elastic snatch strap. You'll be winching the thing till it is fully stretched out. |
