I'll go 2 as well Kallen,
How long have these been around, Im just worried they
wont cross over from boating to 4x4, completely different forces at play.
Seems they are only used for mooring is that right.??
A 500g post bag costs about $8 I think

Still quite new John, that's why I'm keen.
Unfortunately as you well know people look at the $$$ first and then the object.
So standard D shackles are forever always going to be cheaper.
But these have a huge safety factor over the steel shackles.
Thanks though guys. Much appreciated.

Are they actually sold
by 4x4 equipment manufacturers
as a recovery item?
The recovery points on
my vehicle would damage the soft
shackle.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
I have a few concerns, definetly not for snatching but winching may be okOriginally Posted by mudnut
@ Mudnut from my brief google only used to moor yachts, personally
would like more research done. Admitted a safer option if they are
applicable to 4x4 recovery

These have been around in yachting for many many years, only issue in 4WD application would be any sharp edges. Any of the recovery points I have seen would not be suitable, they would have to be rounded.
With the right recovery points/hooks they would be safe for winching but agree with TD on snatching.
Here's an example of their strength, in Google it says this is 35 ton (but I don't believe everything Google tells me)

I still have concerns by adapting something for what its not designed to do.
I'd hate to see vehicle damage or injury.
We all know from fishing a knot is the weakest point,
I'm out on these sorry but my gut says its wrong
