Questions & Answers

What is the maximum weight capacity for these cables?

They have a weight rating of 7,500 pounds on the Blue Ox website. br>Part Number BX88196, 7-foot length, 7,500-pound rating, Hook S- Hook

How long do you think it will take for the end of the world to arrive?

Sorry, no measurements have ever been taken. I've had a lot of practice with them and have had a lot of experience with them.

What is the length of this item, and will it fit a BX4370 blue ox?

It uncoils to fit my Blue Ox fully extended with 2 feet to spare, and the coil prevents the Blue Ox from dragging. When it's hooked up, there's a rubber lock that goes over the end to keep it secure, and it works fine.

What is the length of the wires?

I didn't stretch them out for measurement purposes, but a tow bar broke, and the cables kept my 2013 Honda CR-V from rolling away. preventing V from escaping from my motorhome Stretching out might reach 8 feet, if I had to guess. I had a great time.

Selected User Reviews For Blue Ox BX88196 Safety Cable Kit , Black

I've found that this is the most user-friendly safety connection
5/5

I've found that these tow cables are the most user-friendly safety connection between the towed and tow vehicle. There are two versions available. The one shown is for weights of less than 7000 pounds, but there is a heavier version with metal retainer clips instead of rubber if you prefer. The fact that they are permanently coiled keeps them off the ground makes them very convenient to use. I used tie wraps to keep the cables crossed beneath the hitch and near the tow bar's ends. The ends of the tow cable are already in place when I connect the tow bar to the towed vehicle, so all I have to do is hook them into the socket. There'll be no more rummaging under the car for a slack chain. WARNING: THIS CONTENT CONTAINS EXTREMELY SEXUAL MATERIAL. Make sure the cables aren't laying directly beneath the hitch's lowest point. I wasn't paying attention, and as I climbed an incline, the hitch slid across the pavement, trapping the cable between the hitch and the pavement. It broke the cable, so I had to order a new one.

It is simple to use
5/5

Our Blue- 10,000 pounds of ox After being pinched between a steep driveway and the ground, lb safety cables were severely damaged. I placed an order for this set right away and had it delivered to the next campground we'd be visiting. I like how much easier these cables are to manage. 10,000-square-foot building I didn't need the capacity for our 3,600-pound cable because it was too cumbersome to handle. lb toad.

Although a little on the pricey side, the quality is excellent
4/5

Dinghy towing necessitates the use of these cables. I considered a less expensive option, but I preferred the security of a brand name. These cables are extremely well made and stretch easily to fit my setup, which includes a drop adapter. In the unlikely event that they are ever needed, I have no doubt they will perform admirably.

Work is excellent
5/5

I had a pair of these before, but going over certain angle driveways caused the hitch to drag into the pavement, ripping the hitch and tow bars apart. I purchased a roller to help absorb the blows, and it has proven to be extremely effective. The chewed-up cables will be replaced with these.

With a pair of these, I was able to upgrade my 4 wheel down towing
5/5

Best decision I've ever made! The locking clips are far superior to the rubber keepers that I previously used. Although I know this is an exaggeration, it appears that hooking up the car now takes 5 minutes less time. But it appears to be the case!.

It's a lot easier to use
5/5

I like how this model has easy-to-open and close "clips" instead of the rubber pieces that must be slid up and down the hook to secure and release it.

They actually work better because they aren't caught between the
5/5

This is a set of spare parts. I was a little wary of them at first because they are about 6 inches shorter when extended and have a smaller diameter coil than the original set, but they actually work better because they don't get stuck between the tow-bar and the tow-bar. The road and a bar.

5/5

These safety cords are fantastic. The snap-on feature, in particular, is a plus. My previous ones had rubber keepers that were difficult to remove. These aren't overly coiled and aren't overly long. I wish I had gotten them a long time ago. This is an excellent product.
