Snatch straps are scary...deadly when used the wrong way like hooking it up to a hitch ball...
Never hook one up to a tow ball that's asking to have an old fashioned cannon ball come hurtling towards you, either pull the tow hitch out and put a hitch pin through the eye of the strap, remove the tow ball and put a big D shackle through the hole, or preferably use something like one of these.

I can't believe that none us (including me) mentioned one of the most important things. When you get home, get under your truck with a hose and thoroughly wash out every nook and cranny, this is no casual job, it takes time, flush out EVERYTHING until the sand stops coming. I guess my friends from colder northern climes would be familiar with this.
