Good questions and I'm sure ones that a lot of people might ask: First: The cost of our products has to do with the materials we use and the time we take to make them. The HMPE fibers we use to make our Gator-Jaw synthetic soft shackles is made from American made HMPE fibers which cost more than Chinese fibers but have higher consistent breaking strengths. The larger the diameter (3/8" vs 1/2") soft shackles use more fibers in the construction so there is more material cost. Additionally, it takes more time to build a 1/2" soft shackle than it does to make a 3/8" soft shackle. Second: We build several sizes of shackles because we want different breaking strengths. Our 3/8" NexGen soft shackle has an average breaking strength of 47,000 lbs. But sometimes you need a higher breaking strength shackle for a heavier vehicle so that is why we make the 1/2" NexGen shackle with an average breaking strength of 75,000 lbs. Hope that all make sense. If you have more questions, you can always call us, we love speaking to our customers about our products!

hey Josh, great to hear from you! Thanks for all the solid field testing you do. Testing our gear in real life situations is super important to the integrity of our gear! Give me a call we have some new products we would like you to put to the test!

Hi Mike. This is one of our 7/8" ropes.

Then how do you get the trailer home? Never disconnect the trailer.

This was a demo done by an independent contributor not by BR. The video was made to show how our Grabber can used to install a synthetic winch line to any winch drum. BTW We love Warn winches but unfortunately some of their synthetic winch lines are not made in USA.

@@BubbaRope Still... oh well. SOME of their winch lines, meaning the import VR line of winches. All of their better stuff comes with Spydura which is from the US/Netherlands.

Very different materials and breaking strengths. The soft shackles are Dynemma/Spectra, the rope is nylon.

Henry Colie...again the same point is a true statement. No need to have a 2” mainline.

Catenary

Same rope design, different manufacturer.

Someone found your winch controller, used it to unwrap your entire winch line, then stole the grabber they didn’t know was there in the first place? 🤔

I was talking about my winch line and the controller isn’t needed to unwind the cable.

@@jiggidyjam interesting. When I run mine in I cinch it up a tad and no amount of force will let you turn the lever in to free spool. You have to bump the button once to let line out first.

@@the_bencredible I’ll have to try it thx

We currently make two Grabber sizes. One is for a 3/8" diameter winch line (usually found on winches with 8k - 12k lbs. capacities) the second one is for smaller winches with 1/4" to 5/16" diameter winch lines usually found on UTV winches 3k - 5k lbs. capacities. If you need a Grabber for a larger diameter we can custom build it. If you have a questions if the Grabber will work with your winch line feel free to give our factory a call.

@@BubbaRope hi, I have ordered one of Amazon to be shipped to the uk. It said nothing on the size so I'm not Sure which one it is. I'm probably going to use 8mm I think. Do you have a web page link/ ship to uk? Dave.

@@daver3250 Let us know the make and model number of your winch I can tell you which Grabber you need.

Its a Warn CE M6000

Do you have a email address?

Its actually not a knot its the strap that stays on the rope so roll it back up.

7/8" should do you if I read the manufacturer's spec's correctly.

I use 19mm/3/4 inch and never had a problem on stuck 4x4 .

Wheeling a lake bed and got my Titan stuck my buddy tried to pull me out didn’t work.

@no candy You're wrong. According to Bubba's website, his 7/8" rope is NOT meant for ATVs and snowmobiles. The website recommends 1/2" for ATVs and snowmobiles. The 7/8" rope he used is for Jeeps.That might be OK for the Titan, providing he is not aggressive during extraction. However, the recommend size for full size pickups is Bubba's 1.25" rope. At 1:13, the video here also suggested pickup trucks use the 1.25". ATVs: www.bubbarope.com/powersports/atv-snatch-rope Pickups: www.bubbarope.com/jeeps-and-trucks/big-bubba-30-foot

Hi Morty, Good question. The different size diameter ropes have different breaking strengths and will also work differently with different weight loads. For example, a lighter truck will not have enough weight to properly stretch a 2" diameter power stretch recovery rope thus not benefiting from the shock load properties of the recovery rope. So you want to have a Power Stretch recovery rope that has a breaking strength around 3x - 4x the weight of the vehicle being recovered. Hope that make sense.

BubbaRope it does however what do you think about GMC 3500 Duramax SRW what bubba rope would be a good starter for it and would it stretch the 2 inch rope?

Marty, we are estimating your truck weighs around 11k lbs. - 13k lbs.For this our 1 1/4" diameter with a breaking strength of 52,300 lbs. should work just fine. 20' or 30' will work the same.

Because the video is by the ones wanting to sell you the rope. Just buy it directly and save over half of the money. Make your own soft shackles. Easy, quick, cheap.

Actually, because different vehicles weights vary greatly you need different diameter ropes with different breaking strengths for different vehicles. The larger the diameter the higher the breaking strength. Also, different sized Power Stretch Recovery Ropes will stretch based on weight. You need more weight to stretch a larger rope than a smaller rope and the amount of stretch you produce will determine how well the rope will work. Finally, we do not think you should pay for a larger more expensive rope when you all you need is a smaller less expensive size especially when the smaller rope may work better. A good safe working load for recovery is 3.5 x the weight of the vehicle you are pulling out. All of our products have certified breaking strengths. If we can help answer any other questions please le us know. BR

Alan Cadieux don’t force it get a bigger hammer And hit it till it bleeds

@@frankeodie everything got limits. I think mostly that was the illustration here & try not to be in the line of fire when you dont need to be.

I worked in the offshore industry for years, same applies. Chains have their use and place but for snatching, a kenetic, or 'bungee' rope is the best way to go. Offshore outlawed the use of chains in lifting years ago. Either cable slings or lifting straps but no chains.....safety man will knock ya on your noggin, lol....glad there's some out there that understands 'stored energy'.....outstanding!!!

This is our 30 foot Big Bubba!

Hence the statewide move to the supersized kinetic rope.

😂

The tie down for transport is probably not the right place either.
