Hi,
I have been looking around for a good quality no-buckle/no-hook Tow Strap, and am perplexed by the many vendors that present detailed explanations of the difference between static low stretch polyester Tow Straps and elastic nylon Recovery Straps. These vendors expound the idea that you should never tow with a Recovery Strap, and then describe their elastic 100% Nylon products as Tow/Recovery straps.
I have a Recovery Strap and now I want a high quality Tow Strap with no metal hardware installed.
I found one quality oriented product explicitly offered as a tow strap at Factor 55: https://factor55.com/product/standard-and-extreme-duty-tow-straps/
They acknowledge that they sell tow straps and recovery products as separate items.
Most of the other 4x4 enthusiast vendors, do not seem to offer actual Tow Straps but you have to figure out that the straps they list as "Tow Recovery" are not for towing by reading the details and specs etc.
It seems like the most common Tow Strap options are sold as mystery meat commodity products sold at discount car parts stores.
I found a few 4x4 "tree saver" straps made of low stretch material but they tend to be short.
I found a few 4x4 winch extension straps made of low stretch material but they tend to be long.
Are there any other high quality medium length low stretch straps available that you know of?
Thank you!
