GALLERY: K and S Rockets expands its recovery product line again with nylon recovery harnesses.

HOLLSOPPLE, Pennsylvania USA — K and S Rockets is expanding its product line once again. We are now offering 1" military-spec tubular nylon harnesses with sewn end loops in 20 foot, 30 foot and 40 foot lengths.

Our 1" tubular nylon is rated for 3500 pounds and our end loops are sewn with military-spec polyester thread. In testing, we have had the tubular nylon fail before our stitching.

You can request half-stepped ends for an additional charge. The half-stepping process makes the ends half the width of the tubular nylon for a better fit with your recovery D-links.

K and S Rockets is also offering sewn-on harness protectors. This keeps the protector from sliding around to make sure your harness is protected where it needs to be protected.

From thier website -

"We sent our harness to have the end loops tested for stitching strength and this is the info back from Drake at rocketmaterials.org"

We had Drake test our harnesses. But my favorite way is to go down and visit a couple of my buddies at the strip mine. We place a 10' harness between 2 dozers and have a tug a war and see what breaks...

Which begs the question: how many dozers have you broken so far while doing that?

And how long did it take before they banned you from the mine for damaging their heavy equipment?
