A common problem that I've found with most conventional towropes or straps is they either have closed loops or hooks at each end. Many times this leaves the puller or person being pulled stumped trying to find a suitable place to secure the strap. Sure, you can use a piece of rope that you think is strong enough to do the job and hope your knot-tying skills are up to par for what you're doing, and if they are, that rope will more than likely be a permanent fixture on that machine.
All of the above are exactly why a Speed Strap should be permanently stowed somewhere on your ride. The unique design of the Speed Strap allows you to weave a strong loop at each end, which leaves your mounting or pull point options endless. Since you're weaving the loops, you're able to set the strap at your desired length in seconds, and the pulling action doesn't allow it to slip out. Once you're done pulling out your stuck off-roading companions, all you need to do is unweave the strap and stash it in its handy storage bag until you're ready to use it again. This means no more knots, slipping hooks or questionable anchor points.
The Speed Strap is offered in 15, 20 (tested), 25, 30 and 50-foot lengths and has an 8,500-pound woven strength as well as 10,000-pound capacity. What does that mean? It means you can pull a truck with this strap and not worry about it snapping or hooks flying off like when you used to use your tiedowns to pull your buddy out of the muck. The final word is that you need one of these whenever you head out on the trail. -Eli Madero
