(1/2) > >>

Hi there, I knackered my standard strap on sunday pulling out tree stumps with the old jeep, I put the shackle on wrong and shredded the sides, only bought it in march :cry: . I was wondering what other people thought of the kinetic straps?

Xtremeteam:
good for recovering other vehicles but not to be used for "pullin stumps out"

should only be used on suitable strong recovery points & by some one who knows what they are doing

Snake110:
:shock: please DONT atempt to use a kinetic strap
for pulling stumps or anything like that not unless
you enjoy said stump joining you in the vehicle
at high speed..

seriously dont do it..

Don't worry peeps. I never had any intension of using a kinetic strap for pullin stumps. I will be buying a regular strap for that kind of work. In essence I was asking is it worth buying a kinetic for recovery alone as I will already have a standard strap.

Snake110:
:) yes in the right curcumstances a kinetic it a very useful bit of kit
but be VERY sure of the strength of what youre ataching it to
before you use it on both motors as the forces involved
can effortlessly shear off weak or poor recovery points
that would appear to be fine ordinaraly..

like a hi lift use but use with care..

sorry if i seem to be laying it on a bit thick but i have seen
the damage that an improperly used kinetic can do
frighteningly quickly
