Soft shackle on the sharp edges of a recovery point is a big no no . The hitch looks good and well designed for soft shackles . Snatching creates far greater shock loads than steady towing so snatching off a single tow ball is risky. It can break and the strap can also come off . Sorry I don't agree that a cast heat treated steel is better than a forged steel and then machined steel because the machining involved is only milling and drilling and a forged blank has less chance of voids or inclusions than a cast steel . However the cross section of your hitch looks bigger and the shape also makes it stronger . They both would do about the same job on a 4x4 .

I will most probably get slated for this comment, but I have doubts that recovering off a tow ball, is a problem. There were some guys on KZfaq that aimed to show the dangers of tow ball recovery, but they went to some ridiculous extremes to make it happen. They tied the recovered vehicle to a tree, they use a non-stretch recovery rope, they use excessive speed during the snatch (so much so that it caused some serious whiplash issues for the driver) and in the end, they had to saw through half of the tow ball shaft to make it fail. If your Saber hitch was half sawn through, it will also most probably fail. Anyway, seems like a nice product the Saber hitch and certainly one to consider for one’s recovery arsenal. Thanks

From memory, ADR 3.5T towballs must be able to take a 5.5T load for 10 seconds to be compliant. In the testing he used a 12T snatch strap and the first towball did shear with just the strap before he started cutting them. The methods used could have been better :) I've loaded up a snatch strap to only 4T, and let it rip with a 4.75T bow shackle connected. It accelerated from 0 to 340+kph in about 10 meters, sounded like a shot gun blast and made minced meat of the metal rod reinforced 4" thick wooden back stop we were using to protect the tree. Don't use towballs.....

Looks just like a lunette ring for a pintle style hitch.

Another great video. It's certainly unlike anything else on the market. What size shackle fits the hitch?

Cheers, thank you! The eye has an inside diameter of 40mm. The 4.75T Bow Shackle used in the video would just fit on, so this would be the smallest Bow Shackle you could use with this Recovery Hitch.

I was under the impression they were specifically designed to not accommodate a steel shackle. I accept the video clearly shows otherwise. 🤔
