tow straps
Stuck car saviors
Tow straps are heavy-duty nylon or polyester straps used to pull stuck or disabled vehicles.
Unlike chains, they have some elasticity that absorbs shock during recovery.
Most have loops or hooks at each end for attachment: We hooked the tow strap to his bumper and pulled him out of the ditch.
Standard equipment for off-road driving and roadside emergencies.
