Default Found some load straps

I just found a few of big rig load straps There 3" wide, and it says 10k load rated. It's the ones the big flat bed trucks use. Can I use these as a tow strap? It looks HD, but some how I think it's different. Or... do they go on Craiglist

Man ou can never have enough straps, if you have any doubts just double them up or use 2 of them, if they are rated at 10k it would probably take 20k to hurt them, just don't jerk them and should be OK

i used an old 3" load strap to pull my wifes car around. only problem I had was figuring out where to hook it at. WE covered about 50' and did not have any problems. Not a long distace, but it worked in a pinch

I have used the 2" and 3" straps in a pinch.. just to give a little tug or help someone over something, I wouldn't rely on them for anything REALLY stuck.

I usually carry a 3"x20' 27k strap for recoveries, think it was $55 at tractor supply, and they carry up to 100k straps too I believe
