When recovering a vehicle you want to use something such as kinetic rope that has some "bounce" to it. Less chance of it snapping and it uses its own kinetic energy to pop the vehicle out from where it is stuck.

The amount of energy required when recovering a stuck vehicle is substantial and if there is no "bounce" in the strap the greater likelihood of someone getting injured or vehicle damage if the strap breaks.

Kinetic ropes are made to withstand that bounce and can tolerate the stretching better than flat recovery straps.

Couple a kinetic rope to soft shackle and your chances of recovery and safety are exponentially greater.

TLDR; kinetic ropes are light years better than straps and also safer

Strength, you would never want a strap to break when trying to yank someone out of the mud or snow. If broken, a sling-shot effect can be very destructive, and even lethal.

It may work well for a lighter ATV.

Take a moment before you buy this to understand this is probably a static strap, and while that can be great for specific types of pulling/recovery, most people will benefit from having a much more common dynamic, stretching tow strap for real-world emergencies. A nylon tow strap is a better choice for most people than a static polyester strap like the Ticonn apparently is. The latest review on this TICONN says they received a static polyester strap, not nylon as advertised on the listing.

I live in the sticks and have several cheap ($8 to $20) yellow 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000lb menards & rural king 2" and 3" nylon recovery straps to daisy chain for pulling on stuff. Last year I pulled a home depot Freightliner flatbed truck that had slid off the drive fully sideways up a big berm and uphill out of my yard with our F450 dump truck. I literally rubber-banded the straps by accelerating for SEVERAL feet in 4-low with slack between my truck (11,000lbs) and the home depot truck (probably 25,000lbs). No metal hooks or shackles were used between the straps in case of breakage. Nothing was broken or damaged with SEVERAL full-power pulls, and the straps are still ready for service. Frankly, I did not expect to pull out the delivery truck and could only do it by using the dynamic stretch of the combined recovery straps. Static recovery straps (or chains) would not have let me do anything that would have mattered in this case, especially because I only had gravel under my tires. Also, using a static line in this manner would be extremely dangerous and likely to break your attachment points (potentially lethal).

I've also pulled out normal cars and SUVs with my van and my SUVs and I can tell you, the dynamic line gives you so much more pulling power that I've certainly never wished I was carrying a static line (because I'm not rock-crawling or doing precision work). You really need that stretch to leverage the mass of your pull vehicle to get the stuck vehicle unstuck, and that's why the vast majority of recovery straps use dynamic fibers and weaves. Know what you're buying here. Unless you get an old-stock version, this is probably not a typical dynamic nylon strap, but a tightly woven polyester strap without useful stretch.

Whenever you pull on something with a vehicle, consider each failure point in your system and what the result might be before you act. Best case scenario your woven strap breaks under force and breaks a window or dents your car....Worst case is metal slingshots through a passenger or bystander, or a vehicle moves unexpectedly. Never ever use a tow strap with the classic tow hooks sewn on.
