Review on Offroading Gear Synthetic Shackles Storage by Alex Ferry

Well that made me buy the first soft hangers. Absolute coupling perfection, no risk of broken metal clips under load. My original shackles are worth £58,000 which is admittedly too much to restore light trucks and jeeps. I bought these padded shackles as a spare when I bought additional tow straps to better distribute the load across both tow hooks (not just one). At 30,000+ pounds everyone should be more than strong enough. But I use two and one 8ft strap to connect both tow hooks to the main tow strap (rated at 35,000 pounds) and 258,000 pounds. Tie up so the point of failure is probably another car. But in this case, soft arms don't hurt anyone, even if they break under stress.
