Recovery Strap any good???
Would this strap hold up at all if I used it..?
15,000lbs breaking strength
5,000lbs safe working load

3"x30' (27k) is usually the norm, I've used 2" (18k) straps as well and they're fine unless you're really stuck (or loaded heavy). The strap in question looks to be a 2 - 3" but I guess its hard to tell from the pic. If they truly do have sewn loops on both ends and no hooks [very important!], then I'd say its worth it for $18. If it really is a 15k strap then it will either be smaller or cheaper quality. A true 4" strap should be rated for around 30k.
My only issue with a 4" strap is that it won't stretch at all but it'd be a great tow strap. LR
