While picking out some ratchet straps for our trailer, thought I'd get a snatch strap for myself before Moab. Need some help making sense of all this info on recovery straps, I've also seen them called snatch straps. Searched and read some threads, then searched on internet. Trying to figure out what the ones are that most of you have on the front when you're off-roading.
I just don't know the details of what I'm lookin' for? All I see is a short piece hanging out the front, is that actually a 1' or 2' length or is it much longer but is wrapped up and secured somewhere out of site?
Read a true snatch strap has some stretch to it, ? whereas a tow or recovery strap does not. ??
Safe working load vs. break strength?
I know NOT to get anything with hooks.
Billy recommend getting "Clevis shackles", 3/4" fit good.
I've seen a few described in posts:
PK uses one -Safe Working Load of 17,600 lbs
Billy has a few 20,000 lb and a 30,000 lb
Can you all enlighten me on this subject with your recommendations?
