The Staun Super Strap is a must have accessory for every off road vehicle. The unique construction allows you to weave a strong loop at each end in seconds. You can easily attach it around anything and make it the perfect desired length. The pulling action makes it a non-slip grip. Easily un-weave it and store it when you are done. This is the smartest strap you will ever own!
What sold it to me is that it doesn't require shackles.
I haven't had chance to use it yet and was wondering if anyone else had any experience of using this type of strap?
Also came across this as I was doing some research on recovery straps and the use of shackles:
An interesting point raised in this article mentions that kinetic/snatch straps need a 'recovery time' of 6 hours after each pull 8O -I even read on this site that a snatch strap is worn out if it is used more than once in 24 hours. http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/arc ... -4639.html
I would be interested to hear what other members think about this please.
Whilst on the subject, I also thought I'd post this as a general reminder why we have safety recovery procedures for the use of straps and winches when we are on trips:

(The stress on all components involved in a recovery situation is tremendous. Winch cables break, tow straps snatch back and recovery points are torn right out of their mounts. Any of those can be lethal. A steel winch cable breaking under 5tons of load is easily capable of snapping through a tree the size of an man's leg. I've seen this once myself and don't want to see it ever again. Considering the resistance of a human body is about that of an 1 inch (2,5 cm) thick wooden board I leave it to your phantasy what happens in the worst-case scenario.

I had a chat to some of the 4x4ers in South Africa about snatch straps / Ropes. In South Africa most of the recoveries are from mud and rocks. This puts a lot of strain on the vehicles and on the snatch straps. Sand is concidered a soft recovery as the vehicle often only needs a tug rather than a yank.
I was advised not to roll up my snatch strap after use but rather just bundle it up, as this increases the recovery time. And for those that have seen my green snatch rope, this does not need a recovery time at all.
Think I must be the only driver with 2 x snatch straps, 1 x snatch rope, 1 x 2 ton sling & 1 x 3 ton sling in my recovery kit
