Advice on Staun Redback Superstrap. Are they pratical?

I'm confused as to what it is. It says on the sites I found for "recovery and towing", two very different operations.

It's a pretty expensive strap, whatever it's for.

Gday

Not the sort of thing I would buy, personally I would stick to good shackles only takes a second to put on anyway

Hey UpToP, I have never used one of these, but saw them on the internet, then had a look at one in a TJM store. I think the idea is great, the way they weave together, won't come undone under load (sorta like a Chinese finger trap I had as a kid), and if it gets a lump of metal, like a shackle out of the equation during recovery, it gets my vote. Gotta agree though, is it a snatch strap?? Also, the one I saw on display had a shackle threaded through one of the 'pockets' where the strap weave should go,,, very dangerous, dunno why the store manager left it on display. I mentioned this to one of the staff, got a blank stare! Dave
