Have ordered these as replacements, even sent an email to ask about external protection sleeve as their old design did have the outer sleeve as well.

nope, it was connecting a hook to strap, no sharp edges. And the outer protection sleeve was fitted on the pulling points. It did not fail because it cut, it failed due to the insides getting pulled out on one and the other gained its carbuncle, as per photos above.

Defo an error in the build. That should not happen.

Got replacement ones from Winch-it.

Will see how these babies stand up, but they look cool.

You want me to get stuck so you can pull the 90 out?

Well if you insist on volunteering...LOL.

They certainly are easier to open / close than the std style soft shackles.

It's easy for me, I just drive normally and I will either break down or get stuck....

So this last week , I have used "Winch It"s new improved soft shackles plus the older style of their soft shackles.

Nothing too strenuous and only slightly more than the gentle pull that the terrafirma ones failed at as previously shown.

Both styles passed with flying colours. Will deffo use them again.

I've only just noticed this thread. If you make your own it's quite useful being a Landy driver. Plenty of places to tie it to to get it pulled really tight.
