Maxtrax alternative

Does anyone have experience with these ones? Prices look to be very reasonable when compared to maxtrax.

I don't Grant, but I have to say that their videos do make them look attractive. I have some genuine MT and some Britpart copies. I know for a fact that if I did that with the copies, they simply break. I do think that MTs are a ridiculous price but having seen them in action many times in Russia you simply can't question their quality or function. Worth the money? When you are stuck and they get you out they're worth twice as much. I do keep mine in a black transit bag however. I'm not keen on the whole UV thing.

I'd take a chance on those German ones for sure. If they get you out once and that's it, then you've had your money's worth. If they work twice then you're on a winner. The problem with the Britpart ones is that they may actually break the first time and not get you out at all. I just keep them in the Hilux for snow recovery

I could well be interested in a set of those. Will do a bit of googling and see if any reports can be found...

There was some serious flex in one of the vids and you got to be looking at a 2 tonne vehicle so thats half a tonne on the one board that looked like an orange banana

Well I'm sure @Roy Duffy has though I'm sure he's a little bit biased
