Replacement trailer winch strap

Ended up with Rod Saver brand at Amazon. Spent too much time thinking about it. Too many choices. 16 footer instead of 20 but not important for what I do. When I unwrapped the old one I think about 15 feet of it looked new. Should have brought it to Think to do his seamstress magic on it.

I assure you it is not seamstress level quality, but it works!

You can just cut the worn end off and tie a bowline knot in the strap to attach the hook.

Thanks Dave. That would definitely work in a pinch if needed. Ratchet straps that I keep in the truck would also take care of it till I got home if it did break while loading.
New one is inexpensive and already purchased.

I'm late to the party on this one, but I usually look to Harbor Freight or Tractor supply for things like this. Glad you found something.
