No it won't

true

Stupid advice. It's not the cable that but the what the cable will bring..

just to control the rope or shackle flying back at you in case it breaks most people use mats / bags etc etc, which does not really work ... we use chain because you need weight and a material that does not break ....to control the momentum ..

@@4xxplore542 Dankie. Mooi wereld.

Hello Ian, just a better option when using a rope instead of a cable..

It make is safer so the metal cable don't wipe and kill someone, but the advantage of synthetic line is that it wont wipe so maybe he just switch to a synthetic line and still take the same precaution.

@@bionic1517 did you mean if the line snaps apart it won’t whip and kill someone?

well that is what the clever people are claiming.....

Look up how a pully works - it actually takes 1/2 the effort for the winch to pull the car, same thing as 2 x power i guess!

@adda58 probably physics force of pushing and pulling out something d=rxt or something like that I'm sure

The keywords you are looking for are “mechanical advantage”.

No, using a single point pulley does not create a 2x mechanical advantage! That is a fallacy. It just redirects the rope angle. In order to get a 2x mechanical advantage, 2 pulleys must be used where one pulley is static and one pulley is moving. This type of system is called a "Block and tackle". The amount of force required is cut by half but the length of rope required to pull is doubled. The pull of the block and tackle results in the same amount of force applied when the force is measured over the longer timeframe.

true but very small friction loss, handle easier and lighter, just overall better.....

@@4xxplore542 yeah I read on them for the last hour. Pretty interesting. They seem pretty darn light, I guess it's also safer cause your rope is literally inside the soft shackle... vs having a DRing and a snatch block that can potentially fail. I guess that also makes it for a more compact setup since the pulley is farther back (again, all the way inside the soft shackle). Its pretty cool, I might get a pair of those, I'm trying to upgrade my rescue kit. Nothing crazy, I live in the city... but I did pull out several people out of the snow... with a few fails under my belt. Having a setup that gives me mechanical advantage, and sometimes literally just to redirect force would help a lot! I'm trying to put a basic kit together... so far I'm thinking a 2-3 of these, a tree saver, 4-5 soft shackles, a long rope and maybe another, medium rope, in case I want to setup a Spanish Burton... and maybe a hand winch, which would help especially if I get stuck myself.

I would still use a bow shackle and steel snatch block, make the winch line your weakest point.

@@lewy1 you seem to be into heavy recovery stuff from your profile picture. I just like helping people out of the snow around my area. I have decided to go for the rings after I saw how much ligther, cheaper, and less rattlely in your trunk. For super heavy jobs, maybe... But for light work, i'll save the weight and the cumbersome nature of the blocks.

@@MattCantSpeakIt definitely lighter and less rattling, not that much cheaper though

No, these are only to be used with synthetic rope and soft shackle

There are snatch blocks that can use cable but this one is for ropes

To dampen the tension winched line

For safety. They're used as a damper, to limit how far the winch line will fly if it breaks. I've seen better damping solutions than a steel chain though.

Snatch ring is the most appropriate it is sold with different names because of the person that's selling it and why the y sell them, if they sell it to you as a part of a recovery kit then they will most likely call it a recovery ring, if they are giving it to you for a winch then they'll call it a winch ring, but since it's a more simple form of a snatch block then I believe the actual name is a snach ring

Like knots it has different names depending on who is using it and for what purpose they are using it.

An old tire is not frictionless lol

Yes correct
