no issues with safety as what could happen? it would just still be stuck.

use a short lenght of wood in the handle to help increase leverage

I've removed many a vehicle (including a 3t truck stuck in the back of a rest area in the kangahake gorge :oops: :oops: :shock: ) with truck tie downs, and pulled 4x4s that have slipped one wheel off a bank back to safety as well.

just have to use a bit of common sense, thats all

The extension handles are normally for the chain tie downs on truck

Using strops should work fine, 2 would be better to hold while you reposition
