Grab the closed loop end of your snatch line and come under the hitch shaft. Open the loop section and pass a small portion of the snatch line over the hitch shaft and thru the loop. Now you should have two loops. Take your new loop over the ball and the end of the hitch. Take up the slack and pull it tight before putting tension on the line and your ready to pull. If you have a D ring hitch like the one pictured and can't take the pin out, take your closed loop end of your snatch line, pass it thru the opening of the D ring. Undo the hitch pin holding your receiver hitch, pull the hitch out, open the loop and insert the rear of your hitch thru the opening, then reattach your receiver hitch to the truck and you're ready to pull. As always, safety first. Keep everyone clear!

I would take the bolt loose from the clevis (D ring as some call it) and run the end that you would normally put over the ball of your hitch through the ring and secure the bolt back in place. Another tool for this application is called a dog bone or cinch bone and if you find the cost for that tool expensive like I did, it can be made using a large bolt and nut. Good luck and remember, ropes, straps and chains all have their limits!

I ended up making a small loop and hot gluing the end that's supposed to be tied to the ball. Then I attached the ball to the looped/glued end of the rope with a carabiner, that way I can remove the ball ONLY, instead of removing the rope from the top of the pole.

There are two hooks on each side that hold the bungee cord, so you do not have to knot the end of the cord. I usually do not knot the cord, as that way the cord is adjustable.

Sure! I keep my rope in my trunk, all coiled up. It's a bit of a pain to get it in and out of car, but it's a great addition to a home-training or outdoor training regimen. Rope it around a sign pole and you've got a bunch of great new exercises to add to your clients' workouts!

I purchased a D-ring to hook onto the tow loop on my Subaru. If either car has built in hooks or a trailer hitch, there are strong loops on the ends of the straps. I'd recommend buying hooks and/or a D-ring.Smittybilt 13047B 3/4" Black D-Ring

I just wrap it around the cage as I would a passenger. On long trips, I have the rear seats of my SUV down I use bungee cords hooked from the cage into the headrest posts of the front passenger/or driver. I found it keeps the carrier from tipping over during sudden stops. I do the same for my dog kennels. Secure them down with Bungee cords.

What stops a thief from unbolting your hitch from your vehicle? If thief wants your item bad enough thief will take it. Nothing is perfect so always beware.

No you just get the bars, they clip right onto the car, If you want to attach stuff, you can either use rope bungees, or the special accessories they sell. My snowboard in its bag works fine with bungees strapped to the bars

It is the tow rope, the ball is the mid point and fixed in its position. So no... the ball won't keep the rope out of your propeller. But my 2 point cable trolley floats. I don't attach my rope to the trailer tie down eyelets directly, I attach my ropes to the trolley.

I use a snatch block on firewood. I often have trees down a hill that I cannot get to with a truck and this helps me pull the sections up out of the bottom. There are times when I cannot get set up in a straight line and theses do the trick. I have used it once to pull a truck out. Run the cable through the block and attach to a tree then run the cable back to the bumper. It makes a 12k winch much stronger.

There is a youtube video on how to strap one into a car. I have straped it in, though not sure I did it right.

Either you change or buy a new one or don't used the lift just hang it. Make sure the rope is secured.

I have tow hooks on the front of my Jeep, I attached one set of chains on each side then attach it to the hitch. Most hitches have a place to attach chains. Harbor Freight sells chains pretty cheap. Yes you want to make sure you have chains hooked up to the tow vehicle and vehicle being towed for some reason the tow bar were to come loose.

The three previous answers are all good. However, you can also use a large wrench but my favorite is Bully BC-902 Aluminum Tow Rope Safety Cinch - Available on Amazon. It's fast and easy. The only thing faster would be hooking it over a trailer hitch ball or tow hook. You can also use the Safety Cinch to connect two tow straps together.

you can pull another car with this, if you like. Make sure that you have the transmission cooler... With this hitch you can pull the trailer with the car on it, so the pop-up trailer is peace of cake comparing to that.

Hitch balls should never be used as a winch anchor point. Too dangerous, don't even think about it again. When it fails you now have a 1 pound ball hurling with tremendous force in who know which direction.
