Snatch Straps are not all created equal!

'funny thing was, I have both the best :icon_thumright: and the worst :sad10: !
trivia: Also noticed that a certain 4wd shop removed the worst performing snatch strap from their recovery pack and now just calls it a winch pack.
Cheers!

Me too, they will swap it for new 'better' one. Ive used it before - not a major recovery, only on sand and it did the trick. Didnt see any damage?? I only bought it coz the recovery pack came free with the uniden radios.

+1 'just received a recall letter too! They're going to swap it for a "Red Snatch Strap".

Which is not available until 1/8/15. Obviously the colour change is so the inferior orange product can be identified. Interesting they say in their letter its a voluntary re-call after their own testing BUT I read it was a ACCC directive
I am going to get the ARB 8000 & 11000 since I now have a CT and I'll keep the Red replacement as a spare or to use in conjunction with the ARB 8000. I think its the stretch thats equally as important as strength because from my observation at the I Venture day its the elasticity that helps to recover the bogged vehicle and takes the jolt out of the tow points on both vehicles. This is possibly another reason why 2 joined together are used ? as well as getting the extra distance between the 2 cars

FYi
Here's the link to the ACCC product recall for the Hercules 8,000 kg & 11,000 kg Snatch Strap.

'don't take any chances, return them for a replacement.
Cheers!
