I snapped a chain once, in my younger, dumber days. Fortunately it only dented the tailgate and trim panel.

I have a 4" tow strap with a big flat hook on one end, and a loop on the other. Total length is about 15 feet. I have used it many times to pull someone off the road or get them/myself unstuck. The last time was to pull a ferd with 2 pick up trucks on a 35' gooseneck trailer who ran out of fuel on the bridge. The one thing I do for safety, is keep the strap short. I go from the hitch to and around the cross member one complete time, then back to the hitch. The loop is connected to the hook and the ball.
