    Unless you have a need to ever get snatched or snatch someone from a sticy spot, there's no need. It's $105 just for a 20ft haha

    You don't NEED a "snatch" strap to snatch somebody... Tow rope or regular strap you can snatch with too

    I've always used a tow strap. Tired of snatching hard with it. These are truck savers. Tow straps work till someone gets buried like the jeep I pulled out was. Then you'll understand the need for a snatch strap

    I took the F250 to pull out a jeep one night. Took my 35ft tug boat rope, doubled it up. And it took 3 snatches(with boosting the turbos) to get it out

    My buddy(city slicker) twice decided to use his pt cruiser as a 4x4, 1 in sand, 1 in mud where I've been goin. He doesn't know much about off-roading. They framed out in the sand. I had to snatch at least 10 times to get him out(snatch rope probably would have helped). The second time he went through some mud I wouldn't even have gone through haha. I was able to just pull him out of that one. What pissed me off the most, is some kids pulled him out of the sand in another spot, and told him to go through this spot he was stuck at. Everyone know it's real soft there. They continued to drive by and laugh while I was pulling him out. I wanted to bash some faces in. That's not true off-roading

    We have a lot of it around here. Every time I see the kids here, I just shake my head and can't believe they're the future of America. Once at this sandy place, we had a 2wd get stuck right near our bonfire. His buddy hooked a chain to his bumper and just take off floored. I still don't know how someone didn't die that night. His buddy also decided to just gun his engine in 2wd to pull him out, instead of locking it in 4wd and pull. He had no clutch when he was done lol

    Yeah seems like a bunch of douches. A chain and floored it? Yeah that's one way to hurt someone people really need to think about what they are doing
