How many snatch straps should you have?

[Scruffy Member Find all posts View Profile Close Scruffy]

I now own 3 as i bought a recovery kit with another strap in it?
a SUV one used once in its box
2x 8000 kg straps brand new

Should I keep all of them or try and sell two (8000kg & SUV)?

I would keep them as a) over a number of uses they will stretch and need to be replaced, and b) sometimes you might need more than one if the recovery and stuck vehicle may be some distance apart depending on terrain. Just my humble opinion anyway.

Agree 100% with Fido

Yep I agree too. I have 2x straps, 2x tree trunk protectors, 2x dampeners, 4x D shackles.
And then I bought a drawer that was too small to fit it all in haha 😂

Keep them. We have 2 x snatch, 1. X winch extension, 2 tree protectors several D shackles, snatch block, drag chain and a turfer hand winch. Now I know why I need the camper, to keep this stuff.

Having done a couple of recoveries where the lunatics have driven right out across a seemingly dry lake bed, I always have at least 2. These plus winch cable plus extension can give a fair amount of reach. I've also got an old 28m dynamica rope stuck under the drawers somewhere too. Always use the older strap first as they do degrade with age and use (abuse). Good to have a spare in the shed.

agree, can never have too much snatch.... someone had to say it. I am surprised it didnt happen before this.

Yes but it's the quality that counts. A worn out one is little use.
