Default Cheap Tow Cable

Don't use Cheap tow cables and don't jerk the load. You may not break the cable but look what my 10,000lb Pattern 13 did to a tow cable pulling a 4,000lb Jeep out of a snow drift.

Hook was through a correct size shackle it straighten out struck the rear door of the radio box. The cable hit flat with enough force to leave an imprint.

To add insult to injury the Jeep was still stuck.

Cheers Phil
