Ha ha, yep, but Toyo, Nissan, jeep, Pajero, HUMAN head, same size hole!!
Some you can panel beat, some ya can't.
And if yer fool enough ta use one of these, it's twice the hole!!!

What's wrong with that? Or do you mean if used over a tow ball?

There is nothing wrong with the shackle mate, but the idea of using it to snatch from the towball is deadly.
You see mate, if the towball snaps off, the shackle will stay on the towball, and you could very well find you have a hole the size of a football right through your head.
Pretend that the apple in the link below is a human head, and the bullet is a towball, with or without shackle.

Yeah, just remember that a towball can travel about as fast as a shotgun load, whether your head is in the way or not and I doubt if you would even know about it.

Cheers, the ferret.

A picture says a thousand words.
Those pics are all you need to see to determine how safe a towball snatch is

Thanks for posting ferret

Yep, everytime someone asks a question about TOWBALL snatches, I put these pics up, boring for those who have seen them before, a learning curve for those who haven't!!

I dunno, Holmes, maybe I am just the sensitive type but that photo never seems to get boring for me.

Maybe it is the subtle way the towball goes through the front window, clean through the seat, and out the back window, taking the strap with it like threading a needle that could have been someone's fool head.
