Here at Master Pull we believe that a synthetic winch extension is an absolute must have item in any winch recovery kit. You never know when your winch line will be just short of the closest anchor point, leaving you stuck and stranded. The Master Pull Superline® Winch Extension gives you the extended reach you need and some piece of mind when out on the trail. It’s especially useful in winch recoveries involving snatch blocks which typically require a long length of line. Carrying a Superline® Synthetic Winch Extension will ensure you get your vehicle recovery rigged up properly, no matter the scenario.
Like our Superline® Winch Line, the Superline® Winch Extension is spliced in the USA with pre-stretched and heat-treated SK75 synthetic rope. The Superline® Winch Line Extension is so light, that in the event of breakage it will not violently snap back like steel wire rope will, making it much safer. The reduced weight also allows for easier use than steel wire, and the soft fiber will not cut hands with splinters or burrs. On top of all these benefits, size for size, the Superline® Winch Extension is stronger than the steel wire counterpart.
Despite all the benefits that the Superline® Winch Line Extension has over steel wire rope, the proper precautions must be taken when using synthetic rope for winching. Synthetic winch lines are more prone to chafe damage than wire rope, so ensure that the winch rope is rigged properly and isn’t rubbing on rocks, trees or other abrasive surfaces while under tension. This is why we developed our removable Rock Guard to protect the rope when you can’t avoid contact with abrasive surfaces. With proper use and care, the Superline® Winch Line Extension will last just as long, if not longer than a steel wire rope.
