But they did fail the most spectacularly!

Thanks,,, how can ppl skimp on recovery items , it is beyond belief.
Lives are on the line, There should be no excuse for this.
Saying wrong thread was used or labelling was wrong not exceptable IMO
I wonder what Ironman have to say seeing they are a sponsor here
And still no tow ball warnings
Wish they’d had my brand of strap in the test. Have never used it, but wouldn’t want it to fail when/if I do. Someone on another forum tells me they have one the same & have used it without problem a few times. Brand is ‘Black Rat’. http://theriggingshop.com.au/product...tch-strap.html
I’ve got the 1200kg one given the weight of my car + Tvan
Im not sure how they can either especially when straps like the bush ranger and opposite lock ones perform very well and are very well priced. The bushranger i think is around 65 and the opposite lock 80 (dont quote me), the opposite lock item had the greatest strength.
Agree its not like the material used [webbing strap] is expensive
I would also think they make a nice profit on any strap up to $100
anything over that is just theiving IMO. Hope no one get injured
just because someone was cutting corners for more profit GGRRrr
@ Cuppa Black rat are ok
Just saw this on Facebook

Funny how they say their testing noticed the straps were not up to scratch.
I would never buy a Tigerz product mainly because its built or made to a price not a standard
A comment only and not related to prev posts...
Unfortunately there is no full A.S. for Kinetic (Snatch) Recovery strap manuf or performance.
There is only a product A.S. regarding labelling.
It is past time the Gov't man brought in a full standard, maybe this will trigger one, maybe not.
At least a full A.S. will stop the import/manuf and sale of "shit" ones.
