Synthetic Winch cable

The rope from winch solutions is £60 more when you consider it doesn't come with a hawse fairlead and they are £30. So as has been said, you pay your money and take your choice.

Yes you can tie them back together like any other rope but the knot will not fit through the fairlead. If it snaps near the hook you can just lose a bit off the length and re-splice it but if it is in the middle the rope will be too short and will need replacing.

That and not getting spiked in the hand by metal are benefits of synthetic winch rope, along with when it snaps it just falls to the ground rather than flying through the air and causing horrific injuries. Hooks and snatch blocks still fly though.

You still need gloves as little stones and flint stuck to the rope can cut your hand.
