Tow straps and Snatch straps are basically made from the same material but a tow strap has slightly different features. A tow strap is generally longer and has a slightly lesser stretch than a snatch strap. The RSC310 tow strap has a centre length safety flag attached to prevent inattentive other road users from attempting to get between you and the towed vehicle. This strap is designed to do a long tow haul. It is not uncommon in the outback to tow a vehicle 100km or so to a service facility.
