Not every recovery is a straight pull.
This Mercedes B-Class was tucked away behind a wall with no direct line of sight and no straight line to winch it onto the truck. Time for one of the most useful tools on any recovery truck – the sn**ch block.
By running the winch line through the sn**ch block mounted on the end of the bed, I was able to change the direction of the pull by 90 degrees and guide the car safely out of the driveway and straight onto the truck in one smooth movement.
Three minutes, one continuous clip, and a perfect example of how the right equipment and a bit of planning can turn a difficult recovery into an easy one.
