    Great job Dustin. I'm sure the owner appreciates you handling his Benz with kid gloves.

    Replying to the eight point thoughts, how they'd be in the way. I kind of agree. I use exclusively eight point on my deck trucks, and it's a bit of a problem for bigger vehicles, pickup trucks usually. When the wheels roll, not a problem, just loosen off the straps and hang them off the side of the deck. When wheels don't roll, it's a little bit of an inconvenience to either hang the straps off, or just even have to unchain them from the deck. But it really isn't too bad. You get used to it pretty quickly. And you never have to worry about whether a vehicle has alloy or steel rims, just fits up and over every time regardless. Until you're working a wreck... I recall one carbeque I picked up, crispy thing, I think it used to be a jeep? Took all my straps off, and just had to chain it. That's the only time the straps really got in the way.
    As stated immediately after. Not wrong. Just different. There's lots of ways to do a job. Whatever anyone is most comfortable doing, as long as it's safe, reliable, and works.

    • @Towtruck_Dustin
      @Towtruck_Dustin  14 дней назад

      Yeah that’s what I was trying to say. They have their time and place, I just don’t like having to throw stuff off the deck, and being in down in Texas, a lot of what we do is trucks and larger vehicles.

    100% agree with not keeping them on the deck all the time, but when im doing roadside calls i like only having to use 2 8 point straps

    • @Towtruck_Dustin
      @Towtruck_Dustin  14 дней назад +1

      I wouldn’t use only 2, because in reality they’re still only 2 points. Lose one end for some reason and the whole strap is useless.
      Every time I’ve tried that, even when I cinch them down tight, they still get slack.
      Always strap all 4 corners.

    • @TowTruckChris
      @TowTruckChris 15 дней назад

      What? they're called 8 point straps cause if you use all four you got 8 points of tie down.

    • @Towtruck_Dustin
      @Towtruck_Dustin  14 дней назад

      Although I agree with what you’re saying on the functional side of it, but they still attach at 8 points, as said above. So regardless they’re still 8 point straps.

    • @Nick_girardot
      @Nick_girardot 14 дней назад

      Yep it’s not 8 points idc if they touch at 8 different spots you cut one the whole strap is useless so how would you still have 7 oh you wouldn’t you would have three but yall keep thinking those are 8 points

      @@Nick_girardot they are 8 point straps cause each strap connects to the deck 2 times. As for the strap breaking in some way during transport, in all my years I’ve not had one strap break in transport 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Riddle me this batman, why didnt you just drive the Benz onto rollback and secure it rather than take a chance damaging a control arm? Sorry if I missed an explanation during video. I know it would only have saved 5 minutes, but you wouldnt have had to lay on the wet ground and vehicle certainly had the clearance, flat tires and all

      He prefers to pull them up the bed rather than drive them. All preference. For sure cuts out issues with false accusations of stolen property and such

    • @johninNJ
      @johninNJ 15 дней назад +2

      He did explain that in the video. Said he wanted to minimize any driving the vehicle because its safer for the rims. You aren't going to damage the control arm with the vehicle in neutral and he also used the fabric straps to avoid scratches.

    • @maxbell6237
      @maxbell6237 15 дней назад +2

      You have more control of the vehicle with the winch, and a better viewpoint. Also with a wet deck there’s the possibility to loose traction.

    • @TowTruckChris
      @TowTruckChris 15 дней назад

      personally i drive almost everything up but everyone has their way of doing it

    • @Towtruck_Dustin
      @Towtruck_Dustin  14 дней назад +2

      As said above, it was explained in the video why.
      Driving vehicles onto the bed is a bad habit to get into, especially when it’s raining, or when you know they are damaged. You’ll get away with it most of the time, but find out they damaged the brakes, you’re going to have a hefty damage claim.
      Don’t have to worry about that when you winch them up. That extra few minutes will save your butt.
