    For guys who store their straps in a tool box or tub somewhere,.. yes. The 3 bar is easier to put the strap on and off. For guys like me who just roll the strap back up on the winch,.. not really.

    I forget the cost. Half again as much as a normal winch rings a bell. But they are much heavier than a piece of pipe with a slot also.
    Worth every penny for us guys that don't wear flip flops in the winter...
