Fast And Easy Ratchet Tie-Downs
 |
In addition to hauling and transport, the straps are also suitable for keeping tools, hoses and other items stored and organized. They can help reduce clutter in barns, sheds and vehicles.
The groove in the drum makes these straps unique. Rather than pulling the strap all the way through, you can just feed it into the slot from the side.
The 1-in. by 12-ft. tie-down is a general-purpose strap with a 500 lb. working load limit and a 1,500 lb. break strength.
Another option is a 1 1/4-in. by 16-ft. tie-down marketed as professional grade and has a 1,000 lb. working load limit with a 3,000 lb. break strength. It has a patented forged steel drum.
The Extreme Edge versions offer 30 percent more wear-resistant webbing and an oversized, non-slip handle.
They also offer a 2-in. by 27-ft. heavy-duty commercial-grade tie-down with a 3,333 lb. working load limit and a 10,000 lb. break strength, exceeding DOT requirements.
The straps have earned good reviews from customers online. “These straps are a lifesaver. I use them to secure my hay bales and equipment, and they save me time compared to regular straps,” says Ben M., a rancher from Texas.
Starting at $16, the KwikFeed ratchet tie-down straps can be purchased at Home Depot stores nationwide.
