The only question I asked to start this thread, was in the first post
And I quote:
“Best *mid priced* Kinetic Recovery Rope? “
Some folks won't answer a simple direct question.
I'm not current but when I hauled for a living we had to move heavy trailers around muddy construction work sites. Chains and tiow straps work great if the recovery truck can get traction...if not then we also had kinetic straps so the recovery truck could get up momentum and jerk the recovered vehicle out or untill it had enough traction to move.
I can't remember brand names but the first one came from a 4wd shop in Lubbock TX while on a work site there. It worked great.....till we made a work site up north in Nebraska with below zero temps. Dang strap broke like a old rubber band.
Had to call a wrecker service. His truck had a 400 foot spool so it was a easy winch job for him.
He had kinetic straps and recommended that brand for really cold temps. This was 35+ years ago and I don't remember brand names from some thing we didn't use every day.
Point is make sure what ever brand you decide on it can work in zero weather up north and in the sunny south. Let google be your friend when searching and good luck.
