Factor 55 Sawtooth Vehicle Recovery Kit Review

When you’re stuck on the trail, and need to get out, you don’t want to use anything but the best, and that’s what Factor 55 is all about.  They test their gear better than anyone that I have seen.  The Factor 55 Sawtooth Vehicle Recovery Kit does NOT disappoint!  It comes with a nice assortment of recovery gear.  For me, this is the kind of thing that I want to buy once and not have to worry about again.  I also don’t want to have to worry about having cheap gear when I am trying to use the winch to get out.  The last thing that I want is something breaking in that situation.

Hands down, Factor 55 makes by far the best recovery gear that I have seen.  I use this bag with our Jeep JLUR Extreme, and I absolutely LOVE it.

The Sawtooth Kit is considered a medium recovery gear kit and includes:

• 2 Crosby Shackles 3/4 RED
• 1 Extreme Duty Soft Shackle 10”
• 1 Standard Duty Soft Shackle 10”
• 1 Shorty Strap II
• 1 Tree Saver
• 1 HitchLink 2.0 (make a recovery point out of a receiver hitch, NEVER use a hitch ball for this)
• 1 Standard Duty Tow Strap
• 1 Factor 55 Recovery Gear Bag Medium
• 1 RRP (pulley for synthetic rope)
• 1 Fast Fid (helps with splicing synthetic winch line)
• 1 Basic Guide to Winching (GREAT book!)
• 3 Strap Wraps (individual)

Bag Fully Loaded- 27 lbs

*NOTE- Factor 55 Recovery Kits DO NOT come with gloves or hitch pin. A good quality pair of gloves should be purchased for use in your recoveries as well. Gloves that fit your hands and are made of quality materials. A quality hitch pin should also be purchased, a lockable or quick release pin that suits your needs best.

Pros:

• A very nice kit with a lot of gear
• Extremely well made
• Made in the U.S.A.
• Load ratings on items

Cons:

• Expensive
• Heavy at 27 lbs (about 12 kg)
