Shorty Strap II 3.0 Foot x 2.0 Inch Factor 55

The Factor 55 Shorty Strap II is a 3-foot x 2-inch flat recovery strap built from low-stretch polyester webbing — not the high-stretch nylon you find in standard snatch straps. That distinction matters: lower stretch means less energy stored in the strap, which translates directly to less recoil energy if a component fails under load. This is a tool designed around safety physics, not just convenience.

The flat 2-inch profile is deliberate. It prevents the strap from rolling and twisting when wrapped around tubular shapes like bumper stingers, nerf bars, or steering components — something round ropes consistently fail to do. Used in a basket configuration, the effective working length drops to 1.5 feet, keeping the connection point tight and controlled. Working Load Limits are clearly labeled for straight, basket, and choker configurations so there's no guesswork in the field.

We like this strap for its versatility beyond basic recovery. It pairs with a winch to field-straighten bent tie rods or drag links — real-world utility that a standard tow strap can't offer. Cordura abrasion guards protect the eyes and webbing seams where wear hits hardest. Manufactured in the USA to Factor 55 specifications.
