Got a pair, they work great in deep snow. Got me out a few times now. I highly recommend.

Great video, short and to the point with great demonstration of actually being stuck with spinning tires. Thank you!

@daveos3248 6 жыл бұрын

I got a pair of them to improve contact with maxtrax. Sometimes in a send wheels just spinning over maxtrax, having no good traction, these grabbers help to start recovery.

The rubber piece seems to fall off at the end of the video though?

im a solo snow plower and these have saved me. no shovel needed. i will say it does seem like i will only get about 4 uses out of them, the rubber splits.

Interesting product. I'd be a bit worried about that strap grabbing hold of the brake caliper on close fitting rims. And then there is the risk of getting a bit of suspension bounce and wiping out your inner fender/quarter panel on the likes of a stock hilux, colarado 7 etc.

These are over $100 for a pair on Amazon. From the looks on the video, the rubber block separated from the strap at 1:08. One use wonder for over 100???

have used for 2 years in UK mud , they can take wheel spin , but slow is better. one tough product. one advantage is they lift the diff with every rotation . they can get you out when you're high centred (grounded). one trick is to attach a recovery strap to them , engage diff lock & you have a mechanical wheel winch.

So when you got "stuck" you were driving forward only. When you put the rubbish on, you drive backwards. Why didn't you just drive backwards without bothering to put them on? Would've been a lot quicker. How much did you get paid for this?

The easiest and best way in the sand is to make the (tire pressure PSi) 15PSI, and the car will run easily and without damage to the engine and gearbox, in the long run.

Should the tires be air-ed down or at full pressure?

@TravisFisher 3 жыл бұрын

If you can, air down. In that situation it might have made enough of a difference to get out, even without the straps. I used a similar strap once without airing down because I was about to get back on the highway and I didn't want low tire pressure causing problems.
