    Like the new and improved version. Especially where it says "rated shackle and chain used for safe recovery"

    At the 29 second mark we get the message about safe recovery, and a "dubbed" in shackle. As for the recovery being safe................

    Time Marches On .....and on ..... and on

    Yes THATS for sure.

    The Holden ad is still a cracker though, all action and getting the message across.
    Its not a shopping trolley.

    I was very happy to see the change in the add, it is a total win for commensense & safety, a chain doesnt have the stored energy of a rated snatch strap, it is more likely to sheer the towball in this instance & from what I have seen previously the chain will drop to the ground due to weight alone & recoil is very minimal, it is the theory that is the issue, by watching this from a reputable company (chokes) every know nothing out there will do the same, I still think the add is flawed but it is better

    Awesome, the power of the Forum.
    At the start, there is a towball, then it's gone lol. good bit of "photo shop"
    Cheers, the ferret.
