Would this strap hold up at all if I used it..?

4" x 30' TOW RECOVERY STRAP-15000 LB-TRUCK TOWING ROPE:eBay Motors (item 290359258195 end time Oct-19-09 19:37:48 PDT)

 

It has a 1 year warranty. I'd go for it. I've got a 30K strap, it works ok, but could stretch a little more since I'm only tugging with a Ranger, it works great with a 1/2 + ton.

 

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

 

I have two 30K straps I picked up at Tractor Supply. They work really well!

 

Same here...

 

hell, even the walmart ones are great

 

I also picked up that 6000lb come along for $160 there, it is a very powerful come along!
