TOW DOLLY STRAP QUESTION
I have a car tow dolly. Last summer (2015) my neighbour, who is a professional driver, and after listening to me ***** about getting the 'baskets' onto the front wheels, gave me a pair of single straps. These are the ones that have a hook at one end, two black plastic / rubber tire locators that keep the straps aligned to the tires and the other end goes into the ratchet for tightening.
I dragged our car all the way from Canada to Florida and back with several trips during the summer. Now I am hearing whispers that these 'single' straps may not be safe for a car dolly. I must say that they have never moved off their location on the tire, have never loosened, have never let the car move on the dolly and I have slept pretty well, even after using them.
So here is the question; Are these single straps safe for a dolly or should I try to improve my vocabulary and use the baskets?
