FAQs
Can I use this for snatch recovery?

How should I store the tow rope?
Use the provided storage bag and keep it in your boot. Avoid leaving it in damp conditions for extended periods.
Is the rope color visible at night?
The bright yellow finish provides high visibility, though you should always use the included warning flag to further increase visibility to other drivers.
Troubleshooting
Hooks are difficult to attach to the towing eye
Ensure the towing eye is clear of debris and the hook's safety latch is not obstructed by dirt or oxidation.

The driver of the towed vehicle must maintain a slight pressure on the brakes to keep the rope tensioned consistently.
