Questions & Answers

Is it true that these dampers work? In the only YouTube video I could find, cable appears to be slinging a heavy bag at the user. ?

It's the same as if you were to use a blanket. It should be in the middle of the cable length. If the cable snaps, it will fall to the ground because of the weight. Although the cable will still recoil, it will do so at a slower rate as it wraps around the dampener and moves along the ground. I hope that was clear.

What country does it come from?

Hello, it's a Chinese product. Well-made (in terms of quality) - However, it is a Chinese-made item. A minimum weight of 1100 grams is required. which is slightly more than two 4lbs. Has a long velcro strip that wraps securely around your winch line; pockets to add weight if desired; in addition to being highly visible Instead of this, you could use a large coat, a thick blanket, or a rubber welcome mat, for example. However, I chose to buy it. I have no regrets about the money I spent. The entire winch setup costs a lot of money - My truck is equipped with a large toolbox. I also bought a portable metal box that only takes up a small amount of room inside the large truck box; I keep all of my winch supplies in this box, including this recovery damper. You're free to use whatever you want; However, I believe that the Damper is well worth the money. Quality - However, it was manufactured in China. You'll need some tree saver straps, as well as some D-rings. Rings are a popular choice. Snatch blocks (a type of pulley) are a type of pulley. Consider Factor55's offerings as well. They make a compelling case for why standard lifting hooks aren't so great. Keep an eye out.

Is this meant to be used as is, or does it require more weight to work as a dampener?

This is meant to be used on its own. It has a certain amount of weight to it. To be effective, you don't need a lot of weight.

Is it possible to use cable with this? It works with wire rope or strap, according to the instructions. ?

It has already saved my life by preventing a failed strap from striking me or others during a recovery! I'm debating getting a second one so I can have one at 1/4th the distance between the hook and the rope for added safety; I may order it in a few months!

Simply buy it and be done, as others have said
5/5

Just buy it and move on, as others have suggested. You'll have to add weight to some of the others. The bright orange will not be lost, and it can also be used as a safety vest or a convenient way to carry it. It appears to be well-made and cleans up nicely.

Highly recommended; it is superior to the Warn damper in terms of size and performance
5/5

Highly recommended; it is superior to the Warn damper in terms of size and performance. Made of heavy-duty vinyl with a fabric border, stiff but flexible, and likely to loosen with use. It's secured to the cable with velcro on the sides and bottom. The pocket is large enough to hold two ten-page documents. barbell weights in a round shape The only thing I wish it had were pockets on both sides so you could evenly distribute your weight.

I would strongly suggest it
5/5

It went above and beyond my expectations. The pocket for my recovery gear is particularly useful. I slung it over my roll bar, velcroed it shut, and was ready to go. Excellent in every way.

ARB Recovery Dampener is a type of dampener that is used to improve the performance Heavy-duty construction with an inner pocket for added weight if desired
5/5

So far, I've only used it once, and thanks to a snapped cable, I didn't have to rely on it. It should be owned and carried with any vehicle equipped with a winch because it has the potential to save lives. br>br>It's pricier than some other brands, but it's built better and is more likely to do the job in an emergency.
