I've been pulling my hair out over ratchet strap how-to videos that used too much jargon without explaining and just confused me even more, this is the first one that actually made sense and clearly shows the process step-by-step! Thank you so much!

The one safety tip I would add is to have the ratchet on the passenger side in case you need to adjust tension while traveling you will not be on the traffic side of oncoming vehicles.

One of the best how to videos on KZbin (not even just ratchet straps). Simple, clear, no fluff but still some good extra tips and tricks I didn’t consider. I tried using these straps in the past and got a set so tangled I had to throw them away. This video took that anxiety away and now I can use the straps no problem, so thank you!

This really did it for me. I've been doing it wrong. Out of three people we where all doing it wrong. The trick is to pull up the slack first and then should only need to ratchet a few times like it says in the video. I thought it was like a spool, like how you treat fishing line, that you were supposed to ratchet up a whole bunch of slack, WRONG.

All the available ratchets on the market are still basic and simple. Tons of room for improvements. The open hooks on the ends are hazardous. If the load shifts or moves at all and the strap loosens; the hooks come unhooked and the whole strap assembly can fall away. Snap carabiners on the ends would be much better. I've been cutting off the hooks lately and adding carabiners. Also some sort of Velcro or rubber strap to bundle up the excess strap. And yes; I've seen all the KZbin videos on various ways to store the excess.

See what you mean, Velcro to hold the extra would be great

Thanks for the demo. I have several rain barrels and eventually a vertical crack appears, but leaks only when full because of the expansion. I'm going to gird one tightly with a ratchet strap and see if that helps. First a couple of layers of silicone caulk on the crack.

@richardstewart69002 ай бұрын
I'm thinking some kind of velcro/hook & loop strap for holding the excess webbing together, rather than a cable tie. No need to cut & waste the cable tie and just loop the velcro onto one of the hooks when not in use.

A zip tie is not a good idea because you are tempted to use a sharp object on your strap to remove it.
