Is my snatch strap stuffed?

Good morning Explorers of Oz,

I would like some advice, please.

The other day I had to recover a mate's Ranger and CT. We were on a very steep uphill track, rutted, loose and scrabbly under foot with the odd minor rock step. He got stuck against a small step and ran out of traction to climb over it. PX2 Ranger, rear locker engaged, Max tracks deployed, etc, but no winch.

I had the winch. I found a suitable levelish location where I figured I wouldn't be pulled downhill when winching, but it was beyond the reach of my winch rope plus extension strap. I had no option but to use my 8 tonne snatch strap as an additional extension. I know it stretched a bit while the job was being done, but I can't tell you how much.

Common sense says to replace it, and I will.

But the question is, is it stuffed? If so, is it good for any other purpose?

TIA for any advice.
