anyone emailed them asking if you can see the certificate of conformity for it? I use nylon straps for tying things down on the wagon and  a 5 tonne rated strap can  break with a lot less weight on it, and its a lot thicker strap than that. I wouldn't trust that at all.

Ive got some of this somewhere!!!!!!!!!

Its performance was explained to me like this.......It twists all over the place, does not go on the drum at all organised, Snags on the drum because of the mess it can get in, but light weight and very handy to carry with you to either extend your winch rope of put on the drum in case of an emergency like your present one snaps or frays etc!

In short...............Its a pile of poo :icon_toilet: FWIW Stock Steel Winch rope is is far better and safer  (in the right hands)
