How to store tie downs

How to store tie downs or ratchet straps

[@PKD253]

40yo and still learning new tricks lol thank you.

[@skyehog]

Genius - Had piles of loose straps in bags in the car for years. Resolved to sort it out this afternoon. Found this video. Effortless solution. Thanks very much !

[@d19jordan57]

One of the two best methods I think I've seen. Thanks.

[@garywitte280]

Forever grateful for this magnificent hack. One variation I like is to wrap the ratchet side hook against the ratchet body, then lay the strap on top and double feed through ratchet. Seems to cinch together better. Still variation on your theme. Thanks for something with GREAT utility!!!! Gary W.

[@rickfrench786]

Of all the ideas that I’ve seen over the years, this is the simplest and most effective! Thank you!

[@ambiophonic]

Fantastic instructions. This is the best I have found so far. I don't use them often, so this method is great for long term storage. Brilliant.

[@billslater9389]

I changed tha last step just a bit. Instead looping the long strap over the short strap, I pass the long strap through the closed end of the hook and then into the ratchet and tighten. Now you can flip the hook up and hang the straps.

[@brenwill]

That’s a great suggestion for the last step in order to hang them by the hook, I’ll have to give that a try! Thanks!

[@cory890]

In the last step are you running the strip through the same holes both times ? Mine seem to get tingled

[@tracyguerrero5849]

My fav thus far 😎✌️

[@VopiscusGuitar]

Nice!

[@Meche697]

The HF orange ones have a strap on the ratchet that's too long.

[@barrybebenek8691]

The brilliance of this way is that you tighten it at after it’s wrapped, so it just won’t unravel mistakenly. Fantastic. 🇨🇦👍🏼

[@jeansanders7131]

We just fixed 8 straps this way. Thank you for sharing your solution, it solved our problem. 😊

[@bigdogn1]

This is by far the best, and tightest way to store my straps. Thanks for sharing this info. I also have to agree with one of the other comments, that if you use your straps alot (like every other week, then maybe the webbing method would be better, but this method is great for storing in your vehicle, for the few times I use them. Thanks again.

[@dhdh71]

This is just the best!! SO simple to do, & my straps went from a hot mess to super organized in minutes!! Thank you so much for taking the time to show this, I really appreciate

[@wealllivetogether5202]

I'm a self-proclaimed "Spinster MacGyver", and excellent demonstration videos such as yours make me realize that I'm 90% spinster, and only 10% Macgyver. Thank you for posting this excellent video, which saves me from running to my man-du-jour for assistance. KZbinrs rule!

[@joshhuggins]

Just the best, been using your method for over a year now and it has not let me down yet! I don't tell onlookers what I am doing when putting them away and they think I am nuts until the end and then they are like "woah, woah, woah, what did you just do?!" Thanks again!

[@TT-rt2kh]

This is BY FAR the best strap storage method I've found. THANKS!

[@steelsteez6118]

You're a genius. Both in your presentation and method.

[@artduke7533]

I used your method on my 2 inch strap and it worked great! Just had to keep the strap tight as I was wrapping it around itself. Thanks a million!!!

[@danondler8808]

I just did this to the straps in my truck and it worked great. Thanks for the tip! So much neater way to store.

[@daviscc65]

I used this method years ago but couldn’t remember it. After searching I found it again and yep it’s the best way. Also funny I have a few still wrapped this way but couldn’t fig it out Thanks!!!!

[@condor5635]

Awesome- need to try this thanks for posting. I like how do you don’t need anything else but the equipment itself!

[@sandlapper3016]

The man! Just went and re-worked 4 ratchets like you did. Good job!

[@michaelphillips-nxs]

best of over 15 that i could find! so simple and yet tightest storing.. Thanks Brennen W you're Brilliant!

[@heberhernandez4264]

Immediately after watching the video I went to apply what I learned in your tutorial, thanks for sharing!

[@allenmek]

This is a great idea. Saves so much of a mess and a headache. Thanks

[@13flaws18]

Awesome man!! My bag of rachet straps has been annoying me for years! Think you’ve just saved me money on paracetamol🤘

[@Jim-iv7yq]

okay that was flippin awesome.. my pile was tangled and ridiculous.. thanks a bunch

[@strawdog1234]

This is absolutely the best method for this type of strap. I have watched a lot of videos and this one works perfect for me as I have the same ratchet straps that are in the video. Thank you for sharing this video as of now I have all my ratchet straps stored in your configuration. KZbin is great and that two heads are better than one.. Thank you for your time.....

[@IroncloudMetalworks]

Unreal. Can’t wait to earn some props at my next camp out with my newly earned ratchet strap storage skills!!

[@PlexusJohn]

Great video, basic and efficient, best method ive see so far, consequently spent the morning sorting my straps 😂👍👍

[@bcarwell1]

GREAT ! Elegant simplicity over the other YT solutions.. I’ve had the “piles” problem for years. One suggestion: rather than rolling up the entire length of the strap, first double it over before beginning to roll. Still leave a long enough tail out for completion of the roll. Takes half the time to roll and the result is still the same. Next time I buy some more straps at Horror Freight I’m curious to see how they package them new. I think they may use rubber bands or ties which determinate and get lost. Nice job !

[@Dastardly_X]

Horror Freight 😂 🤣 😂

[@customer7903]

What a brilliant idea, saves on zip ties and also rubber bands etc, much more secure and easy. Many thanks

[@smurcky2008]

This is awesome! Great idea...most other videos require adjustment or something. I immediately did this to the jumble in the back of my car. Thanks a ton.

[@hillbillykoi5534]

Cleaning up my barn, and came across a box of straps. Found your video and know what to do now, thanks!

[@Sinvare]

Awesome video. I had been looking for a way to use the ratchet to provide tension.

[@rwayne73]

Brilliant!!! Excellent video!! Excellent narration!! Thank you for posting

[@RicVanBC]

The best method!! Thank you so much!

[@JoseTorres-kh3bn]

Fantastic! I love this method compared to the others. Thank you for sharing

[@AdvocateJR]

You just changed my life. 😂 Thank you.

[@kenspaller4554]

Definitely going to do this. Thanks for sharing.

[@boldcautionproductions9203]

You win the Internet for today, bravo!

[@KLFaber]

Works for me! The best solution I've seen and there are no hanging tails and keeps a tight wad that will not rustle loose.

[@FrankC28]

Excellent demo and instructions. Worked on the first try for me thanks!😃👍🏽

[@johnkapral6923]

Brilliant! Works like a charm. Thank you so much!

[@jamesfitzpatrick1052]

This so simple and awesome, great video man........ I am adopting this method forever, thanks for sharing.

[@miguelgarcia-vg1fh]

Awesome!! I’ve watched a few videos and this is the best yet

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

Best method I've found so far. Very cool

[@Kira12]

This was a lot easier then most of the ones i found.

[@grandpavan8335]

Very nice! They need to teach this shit in school.

[@kdash3215]

Very nice job, best video of them all with a clean result.

[@vicdhillon7723]

Thank you! This is what I was looking for.

[@sebastianandjennifer1810]

You're a genius. Thank you friend.

[@joseywales7112]

Fantastic .. thanks bro!! Just got back a bundle of straps .. knots and all.. this video was super helpful and awesome.. now that I’m 3 hours in .. I found this.. Lol. Thanks again..

[@danresciniti]

[@GITMachine]

DUDE I think I love you. Thank you!

[@mnhoss2100]

[@alexobeyayalayolo]

Best way I’ve seen. Thanks man !

[@michaellanyon7320]

Thanks for sharing this , works a treat

[@jimhendrix7776]

By far the best method ive seen to date!!!! Only issue would be not having a hook to hangem BUT the cleanest looking if your looking to store in a box or trailer etc...

[@brenwill]

Bill made a great suggestion in a comment today. In the last step, instead of folding hook in on itself, keep it pointed up and take the remaining short end of the strap and slip it thru the closed end of the hook and into the ratchet. That’ll give a hook to hang’em!

[@jimhendrix7776]

[@jimhendrix7776]

You should make a new and improved vid!!

Way cool! Can't wait to use this.

[@bennettctanner]

Love it! Thank you!!!

[@galenlewis59]

Easy to remember this. Simple thinking to a nice easy process.

[@jsndcktt]

Just came across this. Genius!

[@colinweir5807]

I don't use my straps often so I roll up my straps and use an elastic band around them and store in a small tool box. Will give this a go as I usually loose or break the elastic band. Thank you.

[@SirDadbod]

Gonna try this right now... Thanks for this

[@anthony-barber]

Try it today, works great, thanks for the info. 👍

[@jdhaas4231]

Man that works great thanks!

[@richardassal7788]

That was awesome! Thanks!

[@gpigula]

Great tip. Thanks for the video

[@trevorroeder117]

What a great tip, thanks!

[@meyhemmolly]

That's a great idea....for those kind of hooks. Thank you.

[@beetlejuice3x309]

So glad I found this video

[@davec7299]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@OperatorZac]

Nice , better than the other videos i seen

[@Incandescentiron]

I like this. I usually roll them up and put them in individual ziplock bags

[@wayngoodman3099]

THIS is worth 3,000 KZbin views!! I’m not stupid, but I never have figured out a better solution than this! I always tried to keep both pieces together - so they’re ready for use almost immediately - but this solution is so effective I’ll change my ways! Besides, ratchet straps typically spent FAR more time in the trunk than holding down junk!!

[@JohnAlderucci]

What a great video you are one smart cookie :) thank you very much for sharing with us :)

[@nolinharley1550]
