I have all sorts of bits and pieces in me garage. Different lengths, different weight limits etc
Prefer to have a decent selection of stuff so I can use something properly suited to the job than a massive long strop that might make it hard work.....tend to pick up stuff I see laying round site if its going to waste. Got a fair few lifting strops, some crane strops, about a million rated shackles (1/2 ton up to 25ton), brothers, extension brothers, numerous snatch blocks, wire bonds etc etc

3 x 2T (Green) strops 6mtr iirc
2 x 2t circular strops.
20ft approx length of inch & half ships hawser. has a fair bit of "stretch" which helps to absorb any jerking or yanking when setting off but isn't dangerous unlike kinetics.
lots of 3.5tonne shackles.
20ft length of chain somewhere?? and a tirfor with 12mm cable

Out of interest, why do people avoid chain like the plague? I've got a brilliant 40ft length of very heavy duty chain that i intend to use for recovery. Is this not a good idea? I like the fact that if it breaks (yeah right, I could hang the landy off it!) it would just drop, not ping everywhere. Is it just the weight that people find off putting?

weights one problem. trying to load it into the back of ya motor when it's covered in mud, without getting covered in it ya self. is another.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll put up with the chain till I get some strops. Are second hand worth looking at, or is it best to buy new?

The trouble with chain is that there is no give in it, consequently it can damage your motor, even a slight snatch is like a hammer blow.
I have a chain too, forgot to say, not for towing or recovery with a vehicle, but to use with the Hi-Lift as a winching tool .. no give, good for winches .. Used with 2 choke hooks so I don't need to re-set everything every time ..

Yep. I didn't have my chain on board my Landy when I went to extract JonnyPajero after he got stuck and with no ratchet either it made it a long winded job.

No they are of various mod vehicles. Mine are green and have loops at the end which are covered in leather so they are very high quality and pretty old. There is no SWL tags left on them

I know the ones your on about... Their ether the duplex or simplex ones from trucks, the simplex are single ply at 8T. if there the duplex double ply then 14t I can't remember the make but the ratings I do know. But I would need to see a pic to be sure.
But that is when new so used I would say try not to put that much on them.
