Anyone used Soft Shackles? They look the goods . Light and strong.
-
We have a thread here somewhere about them .
-
Ta Thanks.
From that video test the rated D shackles outperformed the soft shackles.
All I want to do is lighten that recovery bag abit lol

When i finish my GQ i have 60m of 12mm rope to go on the himount. I will be using some of the excess to make a couple of 12mm Soft shackles. Very impressive.

Worse case it wont be a projectile atleast lol

I always use soft shackles in preference to solid lumps of steel. Unless you're having issues with sharp edges, then they're the safer option.
-
I really like the idea of one less projectile.
Too many lives lost already for a hobby that should be a happy safe day out.
-
Noticed ARB are doing them now, will probably increase the popularity. Look like a good thing I reckon, had good intentions of having a go and making a couple but never got round to it [emoji6] . .

Would water affect them in anyway? Say snatching car submerged in water?

No. No issue at all. I hate Sntach straps though. If the car is deep then a winch should be used.

Knots are a primary foundation of my job. And we have kilometres of 12mm rope at work ...
Guess what I'll be trying to make with some "offcuts" next week. :)

I have always stuck to the theory that if you can't tie knots, tie lots.

Also knots 3D is another good one. Both are good cos you can pause it and go one step at a time or back steps while you do it.
