The fact that the towing cables have a carbine at the end is known to many, and why these same carbines are removed by car owners with experience, not everyone knows. It turns out there are good reasons for this.
The carabiner is a practical and handy piece. Seemingly fixed on the loop and everything is fine. But this is not the case in all cases and can be quite dangerous. This carbine, made of metal, is quite heavy. The cable stretches under load like a piece of rubber.
If the carbine is of poor quality, it can burst (and there have already been such cases), and then it flies at high speed. A torn part can knock out the windshield, break the bumper or damage the body, causing significant damage to the vehicle. And it’s good if this piece of iron flies into the car, and does not hit a person standing nearby. The consequences can be the most unpredictable.
In this regard, many car owners cut their carbines, preventing possible harm to themselves and those who will help them.

Some have given up on such ropes altogether and use a thick rope with knots tied. It is both safer and more cost effective, and the result is the same as using a quality tow rope.
Continuing the topic read, why you shouldn't "pull" other people's cars not with your own cable.
