pux Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Not sure which section to put this in, i have searched for the my answer but had no luck . So my question is who if anyone has used winch webbing?? i have had plasma 12 in the past and broke it a couple of times but now i dont do alot of winching, i was looking at this webbing stuff as im not really in a position to by plasma or simliar as its a tad expensive and wire really does scare me :lol: any help would be greatfully appreicated.

ciderman Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Webbing or luggage strap as we call it in Brizzle , is not a good choice , I have used it once for about an hour and it twists up ,snaps and bunches up on side pulls . Its a load of cr*p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatback90 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 used it for a while till it snapped and whipped like a steel rope! this was after i was assured that it didnt store kinetic energy. think its around the back of the workshop somewhere wouldnt use it again if you paid me.

Now could you not keep reminding me what a load of sh*te I bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honitonhobbit Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The early stuff is excellent, carp hooks but almost unkillable - still got the length we failed to break for TOR (snatch recovery on a V8 Camel's motor with the strap tied round a bumper; wrapping the strap round concrete posts for winch extraction; never using a stro; in fact breaking ALL the rules); we wanted to break it but simply couldn't. I kept it as a teaching aid. Watched Dave break his brand new 2nd generation strap by simply using a snatch block, utter cr*p, not worth using as toilet roll...

pux Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 so what your saying is go and poke your self with a hot poker instead of buying wonderful winch webbing cheers guy's for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept it as a teaching aid.Watched Dave break his brand new 2nd generation strap by simply using a snatch block, utter cr*p, not worth using as toilet roll... i bought some straight after seeing that article in TOR - worked great and used it quite a bit with no problems. its ok for straight pulls, but side pulls are a nightmare - you cant use a pully block as it bunches - hook was rubbish. it did snap eventually trying to pull a portal'd truck off some rocks at frickley after he bust his front locker and wedged himself on a 4 foot boulder ... but it did stall the 9500lbs winch before it let go.

pux Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Well i think i have found some in the good old USA called AMSTEEL BLUE they can do me 8mm x 100ft sent to me for £91 but im just wondering if that nice bloke we call import tax may jump me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 8mm? What size winch? You really want 9 or 10mm for an 8,000 or 9,000lb winch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Amsteel Blue. Is that from RockStompers? If it is then it is very good rope. All the rope on my motor is from there as is the spare rope I keep. I'd defo buy from them again. Shame he won't tick the gift or trade sample box . So you'll get clobbered for tax.

Peter Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Pux, You still looking for a deal on winch rope ? Geezer called Paul on Kentoffroadclub.co.uk forum had some large reels of it sent over from states - worth asking if still has some, as know he had a good deal on it.
