Does anyone have one of these straps (from Cabela's)?
http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa...p&noImage=0It is billed as a "recovery strap" which implies the elasticity I'm after. However, listed right beside the above strap at Cabela's is a sibling strap, a "recovery strap" that has HEAVY METAL ATTACHMENTS, which would be terribly unsafe!
http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa...ndexId=cat20145I'm not sure if Cabela's knows what a "recovery strap" (a.k.a. "snatch strap") implies ... elasticity (my planned usage is not towing, rather getting cars unstuck from snow). Also, they list the non-metal recover strap as being 3" and having a rating of 27,000 lbs. Most 3" straps I've researched are more in the 15,000 lb range. Is this more evidence that Cabela's "recovery strap" may not really be a snatch strap?
p.s. - I'm considering the Cabela's strap only because I have a bunch of Cabela's club points that basically make the thing "free" for me. I'm also looking at this "receiver shackle" from Cabela's:
