Neiko 20′ Heavy Duty Tow Strap With Hooks has a 10,000 pound towing rating and is suitable for portable and easy-to-hook up methods of getting a car or truck – or anything, really – out of jams. It folds up neatly and occupies hardly any space and its lightweight nature is far, far superior to tow chains. Nor does this one take out lights and bumpers! Pound-for-pound, this towing and rescue strap is the strongest and most resilient towing tool available. This is absolutely indispensable on the job when a quick ‘pull’ is needed and, needless to say, it can be a potential life-saver when a vehicle becomes immobile. Lightweight and easy to stow, it’s based on the same principle used to make vehicle seat-belts by inter-weaving polyester fibers to produce amazing flexible strength that’s highly durable. Resistant to moisture and mold for a long, long service-life. I have used the same one for going on 10 years myself, having pulled any number of vehicles out of snowdrifts, mud and off-road snafu’s.
