What damage can be caused to a vehicle through snatching someone out of a pit? _________________ Brand New Land Cruiser

With a proper Kinetic Energy rope I wouldnt think there would be much (if any damage) - from memory the damage to Gary's truck was done with a standard tow rope/strap _________________ Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max LE | 265/65R18 BF Goodrich AT LTM No.60

I think that unless you are experienced arthur, leave the kinetics to someone who knows what they are doing! They can be very vicious if in the wrong hands! Good tool once you are used to it though! |
