You could probably jack up the car. The galvanized cable is just great. It does not rust and is firmly connected to the clamp with galvanized compression fittings. The actual hook is a double release safety hook with a tongue that prevents the rope from slipping out. HOWEVER, I have one major complaint. The picture shows it has 2 clips. There is only one clip and only one ring on the other end. So they basically make you buy another fucking clip. I got this for $20 in an open box so I'm keeping it, but I found it annoying enough to lower my rating by one star. Hope that helps.
