I got these to keep with my ATV when I am out riding, not only for me but in case someone else needs help as well. These are way stronger than I thought they were going to be and made very well. These will be strong enough to recover a full size truck if needed. The design of these is unique and this is where all the strength comes from. I was playing around with these and decided to use one of them on my winch and connected it around a tree and used the winch to tow my ATV up a 45 degree hillside. When I was done this soft shackle didn't even look like it had been used, pretty incredible the strength this has. I also like them because they are very easy to carry on my ATV which has limited space, so I just place them on my rack and they are ready when I need them. Overall very nicely made soft shackles with more than enough strength for recovering a vehicle.
