Super Cheap Auto Recovery Kit

[chunkz]

What do you guys reckon of this?
i think 4x4 monthly rated the SCA snatch strap good (surprisingly)
and yeah, saw this kit and looks alright

only $99
good buy or not?

[festy]

Was that the strap they rated well, or was it the Tow2go strap, also sold by SCA?
I thought their own-branded one was rubbish...

[hdn177]

well they ite b okay, but just straps is around the same price for a decent strap,shackels,gloves but no shovel.

[noelb1]

the shovels are rubbish get a non foldable shovel. go a diferent kit the straps didn't rate to well , for $99 you can get a juststraps or tjm ox kit

[dirtyGQ]

After my very expensive recovery (smashed two cars) i will only use just straps gold .... why risk lives and $$$$$$$ with cheap shyt

how did you smash two cars?????

the shovels are rubbish get a non foldable shovel. go a diferent kit the straps didn't rate to well , for $99 you can get a juststraps or tjm ox kit

first hand i can tell you that style of shovel isnt bad
i wouldnt use it all the time
but for a situation where you dont have anything else?

yeh ive been using a tow 2 go strap for months and no probs bit hasnt seen a whole lot of action...i would go the decent, well known brands

[noelb1]

personnel experience with the shovels dug a channel for 1 trye about 2min worth of digging in sand and it was bent , had to use the hands , mate I sell the things and I don't touch them. would have been better spending 15 bucks on a small rabbit shovel instead

try digging a hole to crap in you shyte yourself before the hole is dug

i got stuck and a friend came to get me and he got stuck , to cut a long story short a guy came and towed him out but broke the snatch strap , destroying the rear doors on a gu and an 80' series cruiser over $1500 all up

[dirtyGQ]

my just straps one was further in the bush so we used my mates OL strap

[CWBYUP]

I think i have a few just straps at work, old stock but brand new going cheap I'll check tomorrow and get back to you. Pretty sure there just straps as well.

I already have a few so dont need anymore.

Its just not worth the danger with cheap straps, Its to hard once your dead to change your mind.

I agree the army one is what i use I mean the full metal fold up ones

I saw them in the catalogue last night. Doesn't look like a bad deal for a new 4b'er... But if you've already got a strap and shackles (pretty much all of us would already) is there much point buying it? The shovels are shit (Bunnings has great long handle ones) and gloves can be bought anywhere. I'd be spending a bit more and making one up myself. Strap $60-$100, gloves $10, shackles $25, shovel $10, and even a chain for about $30.thats less than $150 and you'll probably be safer with it...

I bought this kit from TJM about a month ago for $250
