[@Fighting_Torque]

Ha ha, had to try and get a bit of humour in there somehow 😂

[@christopherhawkins8376]

Amazing work and love thies types of recoverys 👏

[@Fighting_Torque]

Glad you enjoyed it mate

[@doccops]

You can't winch there mate! Nicely done, as usual.

[@stephanmollison3914]

That looked a dangerous one there Ben some of them cars looked like they only just got round (impatient people about) well recovered 💯

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah, luckily I was only actually there for 14 minutes total

[@brendanstringer2054]

Great video Ben , loving the backing music it was like been in an ‘Old Spice ‘ advert , your probably too young to remember them , have a great weekend 🍻

[@Fighting_Torque]

Haha unfortunately I'm not too young to remember them 😂

[@markspreadbury104]

Patients is a virtue. Well done mate. Thanks for making Friday a bit better.👍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ah thanks mate, happy to help

[@richardneal394]

Good job, and great synchronised running 👍

Hi Ben. Another very informative video as usual. Amazing job. Keep it up. On the other note, “YOU CAN PARK THERE MATE 👍🏼 “ Daniel.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers Daniel

[@crinklee]

Nice to see another aspect of your job. You always make the video worth watching by just being you. 👍 Until the next episode 👊😎

[@Fighting_Torque]

Thanks pal, appreciate that

[@excossack]

Nice bit of winch action. Both synth and steel cable have their places. The snatch blocks i prefer to use are the type with the built in swivel hook and the two halves swing apart but also use the same type as you. Ta.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah those ones are decent. I'm still looking at the min, will get some bought this weekend

[@keithwarren9569]

with the snatch blocks, I recently converted to synthetic line and I’m completely amazed by how good they are. Also got a few of the doughnut type snatch blocks with soft shackles and they work amazing with synthetic line never had one break you do have to watch when you let tension off and back on again sometimes the line can come out of those winched out perfectly Ben

[@Fighting_Torque]

I was looking at these at the tow show and the stats behind them seemed really impressive, I don't know if it was just sales patter but I was impressed. May look at getting some. Thanks pal

[@keithwarren9569]

@@Fighting_Torque you can get offset ones which you can put two lines through I know yankum make some bit dearer, but you basically got to snatch blocks in one

[@gavmorley]

As a recovery expert id have arrived at the scene,put some top soil over the mini,some grass seed and driven off.. id like to clafiry that by recovery expert i mean iv watched your videos and it turns out its nothing like what i do for a living as a joiner 🤣🤣.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ha ha ha mate that comment proper cracked me up 😂

Nicely done ben. Just started watching your vids, your a good geeza 👍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers mate, appreciate the kind comment! I'm all very new to this but enjoying doing them thats for sure!

[@ched999uk]

Nice to see a winch job. How do you quote for that when you haven't seen the location you are going to have to recover the vehicle from? Do you just do a fixed recovery fee/distance then an hourly addition relating to your extra time?

[@Fighting_Torque]

Hi mate, I ask for lots of pics and usually from experience can tell how long it will take, I also factor in travel time and whether it needs onward recovery, sometimes it's just a case of pull them out and then they drive on their way. But I suppose it's just experience really.

[@anthonyjones2223]

Good one 👍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Thanks mate

[@belfastbornstephen]

Great job Ben very interesting watch, you got a bit of a sweat on there bud.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Tell me about it! I was blowing out after that job ha ha

[@meytreillac]

Mike says 'Thanks for not parking there'😂😊😂 Great video! I was a bit concerned for you especially when that big white teuck came round the bend towards you. Do you have signs warning oncoming drivers? Something like the Police Accident Ahead signs. Take care x

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah I need to buy some "Incident" signs really. Thanks for the comment

[@deanroberts187]

It is what it is. Jobs a good’un. Be safe 👍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers my man 🤜🏼🤛🏽

[@ScrappySTEvEN1989]

Good job and if it was me doing that job yes I would used a crane to lift it up and out

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers mate

[@ScrappySTEvEN1989]

I think it would be handy for you if you in vested in a tilt and slide / crane recovery truck would be handy for your line of work

[@emilypulman7046]

Buddy you did the job safely minimal damage awsome as usual . By the way was looking at snatch blocks yesterday any recommendations .cheers Mark and Emily at Rooster Recovery

[@Fighting_Torque]

Not the ones i've got! I'll keep you posted but I'm looking at going down the doughnut shaped ones. I'll let you know

[@markmoore8180]

great vidio as per normal you have a soft side which is good but don't let it rule your head as that maybe your down fall, Massive respcet to you i have not watched one vidio yet that was crap so keep them coming . Weldone

[@Fighting_Torque]

Today's might change your mind...its a bit of a weak one I think 😞

[@christ6195]

Awesome video Ben nice to see you earnuyoir living, btw you got any medium fighting torque hoodies in yet money waiting to purchase one , keep up the good work love your content it is getting better and better xx

[@Fighting_Torque]

Will do mate, been so busy recently that merch has been put on the backburner unfortunately

[@dennisphoenix1]

Could you put airbags under the car to lift it off the bushes ?

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah probably but we'd have had to shut the road, customer was keen on a quick recover and was willing to accept the risk of any further scratches

[@billleigh615]

Hitting a deer at speed in a Mini would be no joke.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah, could be straight into the windscreen huh

[@krisshutler]

Another KZbinr might tickle your fancy is Matts of road recovery. Damn he got some kit

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ah cool ill check him out. I watch that Florida guy, he does some mad winching sometimes

[@imagseer]

@@Fighting_Torque Check out Casey La Delle in Oregon and Pepe's in LA with their rotators.

[@sassyboofle6983]

At least the lad is ok 👍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah, just bruised pride I think

[@Invisibleman7]

Thanks for the winching video Ben, bit of a tit saying you can’t park there. Tell me Ben do you always walk in time with your indicators. Excellent video as always, wouldn’t be Friday without a Sleaford recovery notification. Have a smashing weekend. Ps did you look up Scottish Deerhound?

[@Fighting_Torque]

Hi mate, thanks for the comment as always. Yeah I did, they look like Irish Wolfhounds a bit right? Big dogs!

[@Fighting_Torque]

Every day he's off! Ha ha. He was out with me today though and I filmed, hopefully get that out Sunday 👍

Ha ha tell me about it

[@impy1980]

Bloody deers, the last year seems especially bad for them, had a couple of encounters in the last few months since August, one down the High Dike at 5:00am ish taking mum and her mate to Stanstead, luckily a good 100 yards ahead but it was misty and I didn't see it til it was in the middle of the road, thankfully it kept crossing, and the other more scary one was on the A15 near Culverthorpe Walks turning, where I usually turn going home, was after footy, so maybe just after 6pm not long before clocks changed, so was getting pretty dark, 3 of them, on the opposite side of of the road running away from me, honestly never saw them til I was virtually on top of them and saw a big brown arse, was thankful I was already slowing down and passed them without incident. I do prefer that back road, other than it being fun, coz usually I know exactly where they are likely to to be. If you've been down there, you've got that dip after the farm in Culverthorpe, there's usually one or two on the right by the black railing fence,, usually where there's a load of pheasants too, and then on the left in the verge as it slopes down on the first bend after the Walks carpark they usually walking at the bottom along the hedge line, where as the High Dike they can cross anywhere.

[@matte1255]

Surely using the right kit for this type of job would make the job quicker and more safe for you a simple set of brothers to have a straight pull would of saved time along with a 2ton snatch block with swivel hook and doubling up the cable would of put less strain and more power to where it was needed. Wouldn't of needed a side winch at first with a set of brothers in place or if wanted to do a side pull do a side pull with whole car sideways instead of pivoting casualty. Don't mean no malice what so ever but safety and time is imo highest priority. As with lane closure it looked a fast road (above 40mph?) Possibly national speed limit? Always get police out to do lane closure better safe than sorry with the added protection. Like I say I don't mean no malice by this comment but safety first especially working on the road's. And also would a tilt and slide not of been a better option just incase the rtc turned out more damaged than first thought ie wheels snapped off by lamppost etc. Keep safe keep up the good work and look forward to the next video.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Hey man, no need to quantify the malice, all good. Brothers wouldn't have helped it sliding down the bank, I have a set of brothers, I also prefer a solid loop rather than a J hook which can and do fall off bottom arms. Closing the road/lane, Lincolnshire is a very spare area, the A52 is between Notts/Lincs and from experience I know both forces argue about who owns/polices it. Therefore we'd have been waiting 3 hrs+ for a copper. It was a straight road and I carried out a personal assessment, judged it to be OK to continue, it's my liability and my insurance, and I'm happy with my choice. As for the snatch, I agree, to an extent but also I should have just put the block on the other side, the initial pull wasn't too forceful but the third pull was too much for the block. Lesson learned. Thanks for commenting though, much appreciated.

[@screamingskindaddyschillis7952]

on Sunday you should be deer

Ha ha boom

Tricky one that but you kept your head and sorted it. Top job, always enjoy your recoveries. 👍🏽😎
