On tough pulls, a hard (steel) shackle/attachment point might fail and come flying back at the puller/driver/anyone in the way at high speed, whereas a soft shackle will likely fall to the ground within a few feet/yards of the now-broken attachment point...plus it can be easier to attach with a "softie" if the hard points are limited or non-exsistent. Search YouTube for THOSE vids...frightening.NOOB here---what is the purpose of the "Soft shackle"?
The rope has protected loops, I wouldn't hang it over a bumper or frame, but would a regular steel shackle be harmful?
