Heavy Duty 3.5 Ton Car Recovery Tow Pole 1.8M Towing Bar Pulls Car, Van, 4x4 Emergency Breakdown Complete With 50mm Tow Hitch Coupling

Very impressed

I traveled over 30miles on back roads and hills towing a car to the garage I had no problems with it at all just remind the driver in the tow car to gently apply brakes when front car does . We found it easier to have a two way conversion with our phones that way there was no surprises. Great price of kit would recomend and buy again from seller. It arrived in a couple of days very well packaged.

I have used it multiple times to recover my sailing dinghy up a steep launch ramp. It accomplished that simple task perfectly.It seems strong and I will have no hesitation using it for its intended purpose as a car recovery tow pole. However, even when only pulling a 200kg dinghy, the central joint between the two sections moves a little. I wonder whether it needs two bolts to join the two sections for greater rigidity.Also, I have replaced the shackle with a wider one so that both sides lie outside the 40mm square section steel.

good towing capacity for its size

Good product

Great unit for towing safely and legally and not a cheap little disposable unit like sold in most car stores in the high street.

Tow hatch does not fit on all tow bar. Had to replace with my trailer hatch.

This certainly appears to be a sturdy item and I chose to buy one with 3.5 tonne capability, for its sturdiness over the ones only rated to 2 tonnes. Slightly disappointed that when you have to join the two sections together, a socket and spanner are required, yet when connecting to a towing eye, it's ok to do that by hand without the need of tools ??Only other negative was that the tow ball attachment bolts were not tightened up when I took delivery, so I had to do this myself ... As a principal part of the bar, I thought this should've been torqued up by the manufacturer. Hence one star less.
