Za Rulem experts Aleksey Revin and Mikhail Kolodochkin tested 12 tow ropes for strength with a declared load of 7 tons. You can find them all in your auto shop. The price range is from 400 to 1150 rubles. As always, the tests were carried out according to a certain method.
The cables have been tested on an R-20 tensile tester with special equipment to evaluate the performance of cables of different designs. Which structural element will give up first – a hook, a noose, a seam? …

Tow ropes that failed the test:
- Arnezi A0904009. With a load of 1480 kg, the hook is unbent – such defects sometimes lead to death.
- Autovirage AV-600036. The sling broke with a force of only 620 kg.
- Stels 54382. With a miserable 520 kg, the seams crept – this is the worst result!
In general, only one of the 12 cables turned out to be usable!
