    FAQ

    What About My Existing Winch Line?!

    That is the easy part! re-tying a Brummell splice at the end of your winch line only takes a few minutes and can be done without taking your entire winch line out of your winch. However, if you need a new synthetic winch line, we can supply you with one of those as well.

    Can I use my winch line without a thimble?!

    Thimbles, hard shackles, hooks and soft shackles share a common characteristic of possessing a diameter larger than that of the winch line. This feature facilitates a larger radius for the winch line "eye", or loop, to function effectively. When it comes to selecting the optimal connection for your winch line, it is recommended to prioritize soft shackles first, hard shackles second and then thimbles. It is worth noting that thimbles can potentially collapse under extreme loads. This leads to flattening, cutting and pinching, which cause line damage and potentially failure. For superior versatility and strength during winching operations, the soft shackle is the most effective connection point pound for pound.

      NO MORE METAL

      When there is no need for metal, let's GET RID OF METAL! During a recovery, there is always the possibility of line failure. If one occurs, metal becomes projectiles and can damage vehicles and injure people in them. The Groove Lead allows for a recovery completely metal-less. If we are connecting the winchline to a soft shackle, the hook becomes unnecessary.

      SIMPLICITY

      Any soft winch line up to 1/2" works with the Groove Lead. A simple Brummel splice allows the eye to slip easily into the groove. If damage to the line occurs during an extraction, a quick splice and you are back in business. No need to fiddle with metal when doing a trail repair. 

      NO ONE LIKES A DANGLER

      Does your line dangle out front? Are people pointing and laughing? The Groove Lead shuts down all those haters, tucking in the line and protecting it, when aggressive rubbing against hard surfaces occurs. Plus it just looks so sleek! No more snagging or smashing the line.
