We retest the losers from our previous snatch strap comparison – have they learnt a thing or two about building quality snatch straps yet?
Read our initial snatch strap test from #12 of Unsealed 4X4 here

Back in Issue 012 of Unsealed 4X4, when I was a fresh-faced journo here at the mag, I was asked to put together a snatch strap destruction test which shook the industry up. Considering 28 issues of Unsealed 4X4 have passed now, we decided to go back to the Nobles test facility in Wetherill Park to use their huge destruction testing bed and retest the three straps which failed our initial testing. We wanted to see if these companies had learnt how to produce a good quality strap; or had they just put their heads in the sand? It must be said though, we were really hoping the outcome would be positive. After all, your safety is paramount. For mainstream 4X4 companies to be producing products that simply were not up to the task… is nothing short of bullshit. It’s downright insulting, actually. So have they lifted their game?
