    Rusty's Nut V2 - 26 Ton Tow Hitch Recovery Soft Shackle

    Used the Eco-Lite Firelighters in Gonarezhou travelling for 14 days, and was really impressed that we had no smell in the trailer from them and that we could use them twice. It might be a small tick for the eco friendly requirement, but I'm glad I bought them and happy to give them 5 stars.

    I would've said it works great, but the Jimny just never gets stuck...Great kit tho!!

    Brilliant and premium recovery gear with excellent service from the Rusty 4x4 team. They welcomed discussions on my exact needs and technical discussions on their gear. Look no further for your 4x4 recovery gear.
