i have three ton rated chains and one looped end tow strap that can support 5 tons. That way i can make parking spots appear! I always wanted to just tow a POS bmw or mercedes out into a street and park in their spot! hahaha how funny would that be to get a call, "um sir your car is parked in the street!" LMFAO!!

I thought I was weird for wanting to do that!
Glad to know I am not the only one.

We get F$%kwits parking in our carpark at work. It make life very hard for reversing trucks in for unloading which we do 24-7. people assume they can park there at night. We have taken to lifting their cars onto the sidewalk with the forklift. Funniest s$%t you ever seen when they come back. One guy got angry and threatend the boss until I offered to put the forks through his windows and put it on the street for him.

Tow ropes are great but do not use a short piece of chain on the end' keep a clevice or two wiyh you.
I had a good friend killed because of a short chain on the end of a rope,and he was in the cab where he thought he was safe.

iv got tons of different ropes and straps. i think those 30k 3" ****** straps are junk, iv broken several of them. spend the money and get some good rope like used on yachts. i got all mine for cheap to free because of my job. alot of the stuff i have is 1 1/8 i think its rated to 250k and iv got some 3" stuff rated at 900k for pulling out dump trucks and equipment. and iv got huge clevises off a marine travel lift rated at 100 tons each. also have some short 4" straps if there is no good point to hook to. i just put a bowline at the end of each rope. i also keep a 20ft 5/16 chain with me but only use it for dragging around trees.
