Decent recovery rope for not a lot of $$$?

[Amcole1984]

It's going to be something I hope I never need, but want to have just in case. I don't want to be the douche with a Bronco that doesn't have any recovery equiptment to help someone out of a ditch. Saw it twice on the side of the highway yesterday in this crazy DFW weather. I wanted to help, but had no recovery rope. I do already have shackles. Just haven't found a rope that isn't pricy as hell.

You could get a kinetic strap. They're much more reasonably priced

If it's for a just in case pull out of a ditch, grab a 3"x20ft recovery strap (not tow strap) from you preferred hardware store when it goes on sale. It does not need to be a high dollar kinetic recovery rope. You will also need to consider that many cars don't have good recovery points, so you will need something like a soft shackle, or an axle strap and shackle to hook up to the car.

After watching this video I bought this rope as it was the only affordable import that impressed him…

(Edit… I bought the 20’x7/8” version but I don’t see that available now)

4 wheel schmitty Built are some what decently priced compared to a yankum rope. I paid about $120 for a 30ft. with 30k rating. Plus u know they have been tested. Amazon scares me with testing and safety.
‘’Rhino is also well made made in the USA.

No, Rhino USA unfortunately doesn't make products in the USA

Are those tow straps or recovery straps? They say both. I have some GA shackles and a hitch receiver, so I'm not knocking their products, but they should really clarify. Two different purposes

Both look like tow straps to me.

Both look like tow straps to me.

That would be my guess

You aren’t beating that deal.

I got ya back.

I think their official answer is they have some stretch to them. I have one and If I remember correctly they even have a how to about letting it rest after a pull.

That being said I am not planning on using it like a kinetic rope.

They are a few years out on date of production but they are new in sealed bags. I’m running one.

“ Our 30' X 2.5" strap is designed with less than 5% stretch, which allows for reduced jolts when getting a running start to snatch another vehicle from sand, mud or snow.”

I'm a fan of RhinoUSA products. I have their soft shackles, recovery strap and motorcycle tie down straps, all very solid and reasonably priced.

Most recovery straps stretch closer to 20%.

I have this one for example:
