I picked this up to keep in one of my Jeeps – and so far the only recoveries I’ve had to do have been in my other one – so I haven’t gotten to try it out for real yet, but the rope is very substantial looking, it has a rubberized coating on each of the eyes. The bag it includes is very nice and is big enough to add a couple other recovery essentials. Would recommend.

I used this rope to pull some people out of the snow in the latest snow storm. The two included soft shackles came in handy trying to attach to vehicles without dedicated tow points. The rope was plenty strong and worked as expected for pulling with the added stretch making the experience just that little bit more comfortable. The carry bag is a heavy duty material that should help protect the rope even if thrown into a toolbox with other tools.

Bright orange color makes it stand out when you are looking for it! Using it to haul logs behind the Kubota for the campfire. I am sure it will get use in the snow for getting vehicles unstuck, but I am a little concerned if it will be able to pull out our truck when it gets stuck.

A minivan was stuck on a slight incline, in the woods, on wet leaves, towing a 5'x8' trailer full of field stone. It was one flippin heavy load!, and was pulled out without disconnecting the trailer using a 4X4 Toyota Tundra.We used a slow steady pull so the kinetic/stretch capability wasn't measured.I reserve that snap tow technique for vehicles mired in the mud up to their axles! It's a lot of force on both the tow vehicle and vehicle being towed.Didn't use the shackles, but this recovery rope is one capable piece of rescue equipment!

For many years I have used these types of ropes and a number of uses, pulling vehicles out of the sand on the beach, pulling trucks and buggies out of mud in the swamps . and pulling out a few small trees. These ropes work great. I have several of them, note - I have not used this one yet , but I have used the soft shackles and like them. The D-rings have a use , but not when pulling out vehicles, if something goes wrong people will get hurt or killed, so you have to do things right and safe, if not, don't do it, call a professional to handle it and do the job so no one gets hurt. Be safe out there or people will get hurt.

This can be easily kept in your vehicle at all times. It seems incredibly durable and I love that it comes with a case and additional accessories. Thankfully have only had to use this once, but it performed well and got the job done.Also is incredibly easy to see because its bright orange.

Snatch block!! …no, that’s not it. Snatch strap!! …well that’s not really it either. Snatch rope! …maybe that’s it.If you’re looking at these, you know what these are, and like me, have watched a veritable plethora of vehicle recovery videos…and seen the benefits and dangers of these.I’m not an off-roader, nor a tow/recovery pro. I’m just a fella in Ohio with a 4WD SUV with a tow hitch. So in the winter, snow and ice can be a “sticking” factor for me and/or others; in the other three seasons, dirt and mud. And I sometimes camp in remote wilderness areas…so having the ability to help myself or another out of a “stuck-truck” situation just seems like a good idea.I have an assortment of straps (tow, axle) for use in pulls, attachment slings, tree savers, etc., and an assortment of hooks and shackles (hard and soft), but the elasticity of this rope is quite literally a force factor for pulling stuck vehicles out of ruts. Just know that it is essentially a big “rubber band”, and if it, or anything it’s attached to, snaps...very bad things have a very big chance of happening.For everyone's sake, start short and slow, and increase accordingly…do not “back it on up, and just gun it”! Acceleration multiplies the force, and like a spring, that multiplied force gets absorbed/charged in this rope, and then “softly” but (almost) completely redistributes the multiplied force to the attachment points (vehicles). So while you don’t feel the “jerk”, more acceleration = more force! And you want to use as little as possible to unstick the vehicle.Sizing of these matters, so research and buy accordingly. I have a 1/2”x20’ kinetic recovery rope, which is useful for ATV and tractors, but undersized for my SUV (but perhaps useful as a bridle), or pulling out another car/truck. 3/4” x 20’ is probably best for my SUV/most other vehicles, but this 1”x30” rope is sufficient and a welcomed inclusion to my kit…and with a 30’ recovery rope (extra absorbency), I don’t much mind being a “step-up”.- The primary downside to these ropes over tow or snatch straps is the bulk. For reference, folded/stored, these are about 6-8X the size of a typical tow strap.- The end loops are even more rigid as they are dipped/reinforced, which seems to make the loops more durable…from the slight abrasion with metal shackles…and also added fold rigidity tensile strength with soft shackles, hard shackles, and attachment points.- The quality seems good, no defects observed with the weaving or splicing. And if you haven’t ever handled one of these, they tend to be rigid and feel “plasticy”...maybe it’s just the polyurethane coating.- The inclusion of the carry case/bag and the two soft shackles is a greatly appreciated inclusion. There isn’t much extra room in the case for other things, but you could certainly through some gloves, and a few more shackles in it, and/or perhaps a very flat strap.- The included shackles are sized/rated similar to the rope. The shackle is in the ballpark of most rated attachment mounts, so they are generally adequate, though I would prefer that they be higher rated, since again… multiplied force from the dynamic rope. I may add another pair to the kit to double up if I’m pulling out a heavier vehicle.

Used to haul and drag tree trunks and debris from hurricane Helene. Easy to use behind a tractor. Great discovery!
