The tree trunk protector helps save trees from damage caused by a wire rope or choker chain while winching. You can also use it along with a clevis or D-shackle to secure the wire rope to different objects. It's made of tough nylon web which encases a red warning marker to notify you of damaged webbing. The end loops are reinforced with Cordura wear pads. The strap measures 2"x8' and is rated to 14,400-lbs.
