    Its too bad they don't have a snatch strap, I'd be all in on that. Their "recovery" strap only stretches 6%.

    I have used it as a snatch on one occasion. Personal preference, I don't like actual dedicated snatch straps. Mostly because I've been there when one has given out and almost whipped my sorry ass.

    When I was pulling one of the motorhomes out of the sand in Glamis (check out my review, linked in the gb thread) the poor tacoma just didn't have enough lead in its pencil to just drag it out (rv had its frame sitting on the sand). So I gave it a few good snap pulls, and got the rv up far enough onto the planks we set down for Traction for it to bite and work it out of the sand.

    I think the little extra give that it has is actually pretty substantial compared to a regular dedicated tow strap (which I think most of are in the 2-3% range)
