Thank you for building a good product I've towed several of my trucks thousands of miles I do use 1/2 in hi grade chain though great product I paid for it in 2 tows and saved thousands of dollars in mechanic bills on the road
Thanks, was shown quickly once on Fri and I just wanted to refresh my memory before I pick up my broken down rig today, Sunday first time for everything
By "glad-handing" the chains you effectively made it one chain. Since the SWL of the 3/8" Grade 80 chain is 7100#'s and the rear of the truck weighs 8800# you are overloaded.
The tug method is not a valid method of checking king pin lock. Check the fifth wheel jaws to see that they are closed around the pin and the position of the release handle to see that it is all the way in. Thanks for showing your chain routing, that was very helpful.
I just use a chain and another drive to steer the other truck in nutral and all he gotta do is keep some tenchion on the chain and stear, lol thats thing is a wast of time
@Anthony Nesbitt with your method what happens when you run out of air? I think this would save a hell of alot of money to be able to tow your own truck back home the chain method works ok in a car for a short distance but what about if you need to tow it hundreds of miles?
11 years old video is still the best explanation how to properly use the tow bar/hook. ❤

Did you rent this? I can’t find a place renting these in Texas.
@@TexasBroskiActual I'm in NE Iowa, boss knows a guy, who knows a guy... this tutorial was just what I needed to refer back to in the middle of WY
“I’ve got a hook that we designed..”
*pulls out standard 5th wheel latch hook 😂
About to use a pro tote I borrowed from a friend for the first time. Thanks you for this informative video!

Like the c clamp idea but you forgot to do a safety wrap where the chain connects to the crossbar. One hravy bounce and it could spit the chain out.
See part 2
that's a cool toy but that steel looks a bit thin to be towing that much weight IMO
Thank you
Excellant video
It's not a wrecker!!! It's simply a tow device, it has no wrecker capability!! Please call it correctly
Add winch POOF you've got a wrecker, not quit arguing semantics and move on
How much is to buy one like this

There is no way that I’d tow my truck this way 😢. The potential (probable) damage to both trucks is obvious !

Your comment was a waste of time

Este sistema no megusta.
Lo veo inseguro
Scratchy
Looks like a cluster fuck tbh. Too much work for a few bucks saved
Not necessarily a "few bucks" my tow bill for one of my trucks was going to be 4500 bucks. I'll have my truck back to my house for less than 1000
Then dont buy it.
@@JohnSmithKillFeds I don't believe this guy even has trucks

Thank you
