Let's imagine a situation: a car breaks down, the vehicle needs to be moved to a place where it can be repaired.

In this case, it is necessary to carry out such a “procedure” as towing.

It's good if there is another car owner who is willing to help.

But what to do if there is no cable? It turns out that this device can be made with your own hands.

You need to use a material that, at first glance, is not the most durable.

How to make a towing "rope"

This thing can be made from... tape or stretch film.

Yes, don't be surprised. It turns out that any of these materials gains good strength when twisted in several layers.

A rope made from stretch film or adhesive tape is very easy to create: stretch the chosen material, attaching its ends to the outside mirrors of two vehicles.

Next, start winding the film onto the "base". There should be several layers.

The result should be a fairly dense and thick "rope". This device can be safely used for towing a car. Oddly enough, a "rope" made of film will most likely not break.
