Not weak, as such, just not convenient to use due to unfriendliness of the wire rope. I did keep the hook, however. The story is that I got some end of year money and decided to upgrade to a super flexible stainless wire rope, and to a better hook that I already had. i |

Maybe the best use for it is as a loaner when you just know the turkeys will wreck it yanking their trucks out of the mudhole. |

I do not think that this 1/4" wire rope is suitable for car recovery. i |

My neighbor has 3 short pieces of the braided yellow/orange tow rope from WalMart hanging from the rear of his Polaris. It wasn't even suitable for 800 Lb ATV recovery. |

I can crank in a measured 1000 Lbs of tension by leaning real hard on the handle, enough to pull my truck right through a snowbank (very slowly). I had one loaded to 3000 Lbs while pulling down the entangled oak tree being cut up in the sawmill photo: http://picasaweb.google.com/KB1DAL Jim Wilkins |

I had two of their straps holding down a bed cover on my old Dodge. On one of them, a hook mysteriously fell off, without any undue strain, etc. I threw away both. i |
