[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4228746, member: 1132"] Fortunately I don't have to do a lot of recovery work, but having recovery capable equipment has caused me to do some learning on it, just in case. Tow straps, tow ropes/cables and kinetic ropes are not the same thing, nor are they interchangeable. Breaking Strength and Working Load Limit are not the same thing, nor are they interchangeable. Hard shackles and soft shackles are not the same thing, nor are they interchangeable. Always use less than the recommended max limit if you want to avoid failure. Assume it's going to fail if it's under pressure, and always use a recovery damper, even if it's just an old moving blanket or floor mat. Assume it's going to fail if it's under pressure and stay out of the path a cable or rope may take if it snaps to the greatest extent possible. [/QUOTE]
