Yep, I made my Bridle out of 22mm Dyneema with locked Brummel Eyes each end and it is rated as 'awesome', '40 tons' or 'Holeee Shitbags' depending on which standard you use
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Hehehehe... yeah, I s'pose but on the other hand it is the correct engineering term...
Better than 'Archimedean Screw Looking Thingymebob" not as good as" Insert fingers to be removed here".

Not off topic at all... one cannot state unequivocally that one will never, ever have occasion to snatch a Car Park Sweeper.

I have seen a number of vehicles tied down on tow trucks and trains. The ones I have seen are always tied down by straps over the wheels. I can't remember any that used the factory tie downs. What do they do on the ferry to Tassie if it gets rough?

I use a simple lifting sling rated to lift 4T - which means it is good for 10T when used to recover (4X5/2). It is endless so it does not need any eyes or such - you just feed the sling through the eye of the strap and anchor it to the recovery points with shackles.

True. I have had to snatch the postie's ute out of a drain in front of the house - where she disappeared into in reverse after delivering a parcel. The look on her face was priceless.

Did she have a rated recovery point?

Not on a ford ute! I actually towed her out rather than snatch - but it still scared the bejaysus out of her.
