Re: Putting two tow straps together???
In some settings that 'may' be ok but not in an offroad setting. That
shackle would become a deadly missle in case one of the straps or
objects the straps were attached to came apart. Using a shackle between
two straps is a major no-no and you'd have everyone running for the
hills if you did that among us.

Re: Putting two tow straps together???
Chain is only good for towing, not snatching.
****** straps are good for extractions, not towing.
The ****** straps have about a 20 or 30% stretch factor so when you are
coming up on full extension, the strap acts like an elastic band that
will slowly come up tight and in theory pop the stuck vehicle loose.
There will be no hard impact.
If you try to use a tow strap or tow chain for this, they come up hard
and you 'will' break something.
One gent from here had a new strap he wanted me to use to pull him out
of deep snow. He was told it was a proper ****** strap. Wrong... It
was a tow strap and when it came up hard, it tore my rear crossmember
off!
The elastic factor is what makes any metal ends deadly missiles if
something breaks and makes for a real lousy tow strap. It goes boing
boing boing when trying to slow down the towed vehicle. With a chain or
proper tow strap, you can gently ride the brakes in the towed vehicle to
slow down with no pulses.

Re: Putting two tow straps together???
Easy there big boy....
Don't get all shook up.
I understand the theory and the logic, as does my husband.
I was just tossing in another opinion, that was offered from over my
shoulder.
Keep in mind, that the slings that he (my husband uses) are in heavy
construction. Much larger than anything any of us would use, and for
different purposes such as lifting as with a crane, not pulling.

I understand the theory and the logic, as does my husband.

different purposes such as lifting as with a crane, not pulling.
