Short Product Summary
The Holdfast Tow/Winch Straps are heavy-duty 50mm straps built for vehicle recovery, light pulling jobs and marine work. Specify a tow or a winch type, and a 3-metre or 6-metre length, to match the job at hand.
Why This Product
Grabbing the wrong strap for a recovery is more than an inconvenience — a winch strap has no give to absorb a snatch recovery's shock, and a tow strap isn't built to spool neatly around a drum. Because these come as one type or the other, you pick the strap built for the job, whether that's pulling a bakkie free of mud or bringing a boat up onto its trailer.
Key Features
- 50mm polyester webbing – wide enough to handle serious loads yet still narrow enough for typical recovery points and winch hooks
- Choice of tow or winch type – a tow strap gives under load to soak up shock, a winch strap stays flat so it spools cleanly onto a drum
- 3m or 6m lengths – pick the reach that suits your recovery point or winch setup
- High-tenacity polyester build – made for repeated recovery and pulling jobs
- UV-resistant, weatherproofed treatment – holds up outdoors and around salt water
Ideal For
- 4x4 drivers recovering a stuck vehicle who need a tow strap that stretches to absorb the shock of a snatch recovery.
- Boat and trailer owners using a winch strap to pull a boat or quad smoothly onto a trailer.
- Workshops and marine users repositioning equipment or handling mooring and dock work.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes
Tow and winch straps do different jobs, so check these points before ordering:
- Tell us TOW or WINCH when you order — a tow strap gives under load for a snatch recovery, while a winch strap runs flat so it spools evenly onto a drum.
- Don't reach for a winch strap to snatch a vehicle out — with no give to soak up the shock, it can snap a recovery point.
- Pick a 3m or 6m length based on the gap between your vehicle and the recovery point or winch.

FAQ
What's the difference between tow and winch straps?
A tow strap gives slightly under load, soaking up the jolt of a snatch recovery. A winch strap runs flat and doesn't stretch, so it spools evenly onto a drum instead of bunching up.
Can I use a winch strap to snatch-recover a vehicle?
No. With no give to soak up the shock, it can snap a recovery point. Use a tow strap for that job instead.
What lengths are available?
3 metres or 6 metres.
What is the strap made from?
High-tenacity polyester webbing, treated to resist UV and weather.
