Re: Tow Rope, Chain, Cable or Strap?

It seems that the majority say go with a strap but..... I have been in two situations in which a strap has broken. I don't know the exact # ratings on them but they were heavy duty. Both times it was a simple pull out of a ditch, one in mud and one in snow. Personally I keep an 18ft heavy duty chain in my side tool box. The links are 3/8 of an inch. Yes, it is heavy and not as easy to work with as a strap but it is strong enough to pull anything out without breaking. I use it quite often and never have any trouble. Hope that helps.
