This one would be useful for pulling smaller stumps, dragging logs, or pulling cars out of snowy ditches.
I wouldn't use it for serious recovery work, though, and would use a high-rated strap with end loops and clevis'.
I disagree. If the recovered vehicle is stuck, it's a high stress pull that could certainly exceed a cheap 6,000 lb rated strap. ANY vehicle recovery should be treated as a serious pull.
Why use a strap that "may" be useful instead of buying a quality, safe, strap rated for any situation you may encounter? Don't skimp on recovery equipment.
