Like hookers they cant guaranty that it will stay closed when your aranging your straps so its not a safe technique

 

I guess I'm doing it wrong, I've never had one come off.

 

Seriously, those things are the latest in marketing hype and time wasted on the trail trying to use it.
Kind of like the plastic sleds I see on some rigs.

 

While the hook itself is rated just fine the clip portion on the bottom is not rated for the same pull strength. A closed loop system eliminates the possible failure of NOT securing the hook correctly. It helps those with less experience make a safe pull.

There is also a bling factor involved.

 

It looks cool and it makes us spend more money!!!! Your first gen ways and making your own latch sort of deal just does not make sense!!!

 

I don't have the clip, I removed that pos the day I spooled it up.

 

Always a better mouse trap out there and somebody willing to waste money on it.

Seriously, I better not be stuck behind one of you guys while you fiddle around with finding a D ring, then go after your tool box because you tightened the thing down in a vise.

Just slip the hook on and flip the winch toggle to pull. Works everytime.

 

So say your "hooked" up on a pull, you did it right the first time with the open end down you are pulLing along assisting with a slight bit of throttle where you can and all in the sudden the tire grab for a second causing slack in the line allowing the hook to slack turn upside down and fall off. And your truck loose grip and you roll backwards because you are no longer hooked up.

I know it's a one in a million scenario but you never know.

 

You old fashioned bastard...sound just like my dad!

 

So hows that work hooking onto the back of a bumper? Does not fit through the hole.

 

Which is why I now have soft shackles rated for 3 times the amount of any D ring out there (just about) also eliminates another hard projectile from the line.

 

Wtf are you talking about?
That is where the D ring goes. In the D ring mount. So you can hook the hook to it.

 

And if you are following the typical heep owner that does not have that kind of bumper?

 

I've seen those, cool idea.
What are you guys pulling out? Dump trucks?
Usually it's just little ol Jeeps and the occasional turtled 2nd gen.

 

But i dont like keepint the d ring there because its loud and as tight as a vise so i can never get it off.


























And dont be a pervert.

 

Well, then you hook a strap in their receiver hitch. If they don't have that go for the frame and chew their ass for being an idiot.

 

I could, but this was all i could order at a discount when i was leaving cabelas. E series wasent offered surprisingly cabelas sells factory 55.

 

Honestly for me I don't mind the over thought safety. I took a class last winter on winch safety and pulls. It was interesting and worth my time.

 

Is that a winch strap or snatch strap??

 

And furthermore, why are you following a Jeep? Drive around them when you catch up to them
