When your car is stuck, a tow strap can get you out of a jam. You might only need to be towed for a few feet to get to safety, but without that strap it would be impossible. The right strap used properly is a priceless tool, especially if you're in the middle of nowhere with no easy way to call a tow truck. But using the wrong strap, or using it incorrectly, could damage your vehicle or cause serious injury to you or bystanders.
The first step is to get the right tow strap. The best straps are made from industrial grade webbing with Cordura (a heavy-duty nylon made to withstand extreme pressure) reinforcement at each end.
Once you've inspected your strap for any weak spots, it's time to attach it. It's extremely important that you do not hook the strap directly to a car's bumper. That may have worked years ago when bumpers were constructed more solidly, but very few modern car bumpers can handle the pressure. Look for a solid steel hook that's firmly attached to the car.
Once you have the strap attached to both vehicles, start the vehicle that's doing the towing and move forward at a snail's pace (very, very slowly) until the strap is taut between the two vehicles. At that point, you can safely begin to tow the other car.
Rules for safe towing:
Carefully inspect the strap before each use. A frayed or torn strap can be extremely dangerous.
Always have someone in the vehicle that's being towed. It's too easy to lose control of an unattended vehicle.
Go slowly. Tow straps are not meant for regular highway speeds. A tow truck may be able to handle the speed; your car with a tow strap can't.
With the right tow strap in place and the proper safety precautions, you'll be able to get yourself out of some tight situations.
