Fact #1. Tow straps are in their own unique category. It's wise to own them, yet, ideally, you'll never have to use them. More often than not, they're only used after an accident, a breakdown, or when a vehicle has gone off the road. Fortunately, even the priciest options are still easily affordable. The investment in preparedness is a sound one.
Fact #2. When assessing which tow strap suits your needs, start with the most basic consideration: weight rating. If you drive a large pickup truck, then you should consider a strap rated to work with a vehicle weighing as much as 10,000 pounds. If you drive a smaller SUV, Jeep, or a car, chances are your vehicle weighs less than 5,000 pounds. Almost any strap will be able to accommodate its size.
Fact #3. Consider the proper length of strap for your likely needs. If you might be hauling an ATV out of a ravine or over a sand dune, you'll need a longer strap. For merely moving an inoperable vehicle out of a garage or down the road, short straps make more sense.
Fact #4. Choose whether you want tow straps with metal hooks attached to their ends, or simply with a fabric loop at the end of the line. Many people claim that the metal hooks are actually more dangerous than helpful. If the straps snap or a hook becomes disconnected, it can go flying at great velocity.
Fact #5. Note that these straps are also often used for other purposes. This can include pulling out old tree stumps, fence posts, and more. For these tasks, consider a long, strong strap. You'll be subjecting the straps to lots of pressure, and the dislodged item might go flying.
