Winch Tape

(1/3) > >>

Mudlark:
Anyone have any opinions on winch tape?

Eeyore:
Aye, it's subject thats been covered before.

The general view was that it's a cheap solution but it has a few fundamental disadvantages over rope and cable.

It just isn't robust enough for the job and is therefore best avoided.

There is an old thread about it kicking about somewhere, but I can't seem to find it at the mo!

I have considered buying a length as an extension to my winch line as it is cheap and lightweight.  The proper stuff is fully rated for lifting and does have it's fans for good reasons.

But, other than a particularly interesting recovery recently I don't do much winching, so I follow the general advice on this one and don't put it in my winch.  There are some things it's not worth skimping on I guess.
