Recovery Combo Pack - Advise

I'm looking for a recovery combo pack that would include the following:

Tow strap
Shackle
Shackle Hitch receiver

Realistically it will not see much use but I need to be prepared just in case. A quick search on Amazon found

$100 Rhino USA Heavy-Duty Recovery Gear Combos Off-Road Truck Vehicle Recovery, Best Offroad Towing Accessories (30' Strap + Shackle Hitch)

THIS (Rhino USA Combo)

I am willing to pay a little more to get something of better quality.

Thanks for your help !

 

I would recommend something like this:

If you want to ball out of control, grab a Bubba Rope:

When if comes to recovery gear, pay a little more and get quality goods. It makes a difference when your only lifeline is your gear.

 

I was considering the rhino gear too, it seems to get decent reviews, but I don't know anyone with personal experience. They must have a deal with Amazon, because that always shows up first on searches, even when I search for "ARB"

Keep in mind that strap doesn't do any good if you're alone, lol. So if you drive alone a lot, it's useless. Get a winch.

In a pinch, you can just use a hitch pin in the rear receiver (loop the strap loop around the pin). When pulling form the side, the sharp(er) corners on the hitch receiver and bite into the strap and damage it. But if you find yourself doing that a lot, definitely get a hitch receiver shackle. Or better yet, get a bumper with dual recovery points to better distribute the load.

Also, that strap is a TOW STRAP, which is different from something like a SNATCH STRAP.

Tow straps aren't designed for dynamic loads, whereas a snatch strap is designed to stretch slightly and store energy that helps "yank" you out.

I made the mistake of getting a tow strap instead of a snatch. Don't get me wrong, I'm keeping the tow strap, but I'm going to get a snatch as well.
