A while back I purchased this "Keeper 25' Tow Strap" when I was having some difficulty with my SUV, for insurance. However, never had to use it for that and, instead, it paid for itself when used helping my son with a stalled vehicle. Since then, though, I've used it with a come along to direct the fall of a tree. Purchased locally at a big box store and I, now, think of it as a necessity. Can't be misplaced because of it's loud color and It takes up very little room in the trunk. Great to have when the need arises and just recently purchased again, for my son. (Max. Vehicle weight 5K lbs.)
