Product Description ARB 705 - ARB Recovery strap 30 Ft 17,500LB 2 3/8" Recovery strap Specifically designed to stretch under load for maximum performance, an ARB snatch strap (sometimes referred to as a tow strap) is a very effective method of extracting a bogged or immobilized 4WD when a second vehicle is present. Specially designed to stretch under load for maximum performance This ability to stretch is a distinction between a snatch strap and a tow strap, ARB snatch straps are elastic when under load whereas a tow strap is not, the benefits of which are twofold. Firstly, the kinetic energy generated by the elasticity actually aids the recovery itself, and secondly, the elasticity greatly reduces the likelihood of vehicle damage during recovery. The enormous weight of each 4x4 and the weighted force of whatever caused the immobilization puts enormous strain on the point where the straps are attached, and without some elasticity, there is a substantial risk of damaging the vehicle. For vehicle recovery, a snatch strap is more suitable than a tow strap. All ARB snatch straps are woven and fabricated to ARB specifications, and tested by a NATA approved laboratory. The ARB 705, 17,500 lb model is recommended for most 4WD vehicles with the ARB710 24,000lb & ARB 715 33,000 lb straps better suited to heavier applications.
