Well from the colour of the plate, it is a QLD plate

What an idiot. Real shame you cant contact the buyer and warn them about the dangers of using this.

Maybe one of us should have bought it just to get rid of it safely.

Yeah Tony, that is exactly what I was going to do but missed out as I wasn't here to bid. I thought about putting a bid early but I thought I might get out bid and some poor bastard will be stuck with an expensive useless strap.
I can not believe eBay didn't do anything about it...typical

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

It will kill someone. It will Break if used. I begged the seller to remove from auction and got silence. I posted the item on a forum and many members also messaged him to remove it, He did nothing and remained silent. It was reported to Ebay countless times and should have been removed. I BEG YOU NEVER TO USE IT. This is NOT A JOKE! Please feel free to call me any time to discuss this 0414 375 XXX. That snatch strap has been very heavily used, it should have been thanked and retired. The seller obviously knew that because he replaced it?? Please leave him Negative Feed back and throw the item in the bin for the sake of your friends and family. If it breaks and that shackle comes through your back window at 200km/h someone will die. Also remember never to Snatch off a Tow ball. I BEG YOU, BIN IT!

On page 130 of the current issue (No.172) of 4WD Action they worked out that if a towball broke off during a 15km/h snatch recovery the speed of the towball would be close to 670km/h!!!
