Two different tools. A strap is for towing. A kinetic rope is for recovery.
Yup, what he said. Opting for a rope, for in case there is a need for towing. There is always AAA anyways.
Should I go with 20 for length or 30? I have no experience in using kinetic ropes, so I cannot tell which one is more practical to have.
You don't tow with a kinetic rope. You tow with a strap. A kinetic rope is for recoverying a stuck vehicle.
I meant for recovery.
Although I hope I would never have the need to use one. But it's good to have one just in case.
Got it. 7/8 X 30 it is!
I use 7/8 x 30 ft. 20 feet is not enough
The reason why I say 20 ft is not enough, kinetic ropes will spring you out of a hole and towards the vehicle that pulled you out. Plus, when you're looking over the hood of your vehicle while getting towed out, you're going to seem very close to the vehicle in front of you. With 30 ft length, you could at least see some ground between the back of your bumper and the front of their hood
You also get more stretch (aka kinetic energy) out of 30 ft than you do from a 20-ft kinetic rope
