Get stuck in the snow last winter? Fun, wasn't it? Remember how you were cursing and started to turn purple trying to push your 4000 pound vehicle?

Ya' might wanna get a tow strap. These are lightweight, high strength straps designed to tow a vehicle. They usually have metal hooks on the end to hook onto the tow hooks on your car. Most cars have two tow hooks on the front and back of the car under the bumper. Typically, tow straps are rated with a break strength such as 6000 or 10,000 pounds. They come rolled up in a small package that's easy to tuck away in your car. About $20, depending on length and break strength.
