What do you say, when they put it on a weak point (that looks plenty strong) tow point breaks and sends chain through your window ?

Or, god forbid, worse.


If your risking YOUR truck, why trust someone who just got stuck ? Want it done right ? DO IT YOURSELF ! Safe bet to assume they don't know jack.

Never trust someone else. Their life, nor theer truck is the one in jeapordy, its you and your truck. Don't trust either of those with some stranger. I can go on and on, but you get the point.

I just bought a tow strap the other day after seeing a half dozen cars in the ditch during a white out last week

Ironic, I haven't even had to pull it out of the package since...I fully intend on using it as much as possible.

Get this!!! My father (Truck driver) had his 2006 Volvo Semi (bobtailing) stuck in an intersection in a snowstorm, back of the truck already into somebody's yard...

F150 XLT comes along, throws on a big ol' tow strap, and wouldn't ya know it, with 8 total wheels turning, I watched a light truck pull a big rig up a hill in the snow...

And no I never intend on letting my father live that down....

My ****** strap will not fly back at me. it will immediately drop to the ground. When I do have to pull with chains though I make sure something like a ahvey coat or blanket is wrapped around it in the middle.

guess I wont pull with the front end anymore though.

Technically, if you don't actually see the animals you have to stop.
