Re: Recover Accident
 

If you use 'snatch' straps with an elastic factor and looped ends it is
designed for taking a run at it.

If you use a 'tow' strap or chain, it is designed for a straight power
pull or a tow.

They are different animals and aren't interchangeable.

That and ALWAYS put a blanket over the tow strap.

Amazing that that one simple thing will keep almost all
the problems below the hood line.
