Thank you for a clear and concise video. I don't know why people are making eight minute videos on how to use a ratchet strap

[@ericgrajeda2671]

@@Thehowtochannelinc I got a strap that is stuck how do I unloosen the strap if the handle to release don't work like jam up on the rachet.....

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

Make sure the ratchet mechanism is completely open and locked in the open position, then just keep yanking on the strap until it loosens. If it is jammed up, you have to give it pretty hard yanks rather than a steady pull on the strap.

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

Once the ratchet is in the fully open position, you have to release the small lever to lock it in the open position.

[@ericgrajeda2671]

@@Thehowtochannelinc yeah was trying it might need to take the rachet apart like screws on the side so the strap will come off the bolt then screw it back on I guess first time using the strap but had it for 10 years.....

I was taught thread the ratchet in a horizontal position but i guess horizontal works two

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

I find it easier to thread the strap when the slot is in the vertical position and the ratchet mechanism is out of the way, but there is nothing wrong with your method as long as the strap is threaded properly. Thanks for the comment.

The ratchet that I have does not have a handle like that is it the same for the one I have

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

You probably just have a different looking handle. It should work the same way. If not, send me a picture of the ratchet strap. I would be happy to help you out. [e-mail]

[@hubster4477]

Leave some slack in the line, Should do 2 full rotations with the strap, prevents slippage.

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

You are correct. When you take up the slack, you should not pull the strap tight. Thanks for the comment.

[@goodgrief888]

Cool, but what do I do with the hooks?

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

The hooks are to secure each end of the straps to a trailer or whatever you're straping your item to.

[@goodgrief888]

@@Thehowtochannelinc can I hook them to my thule? Thanks! Your video was super helpful

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

I'm glad it helped. You can hook them to anything that is secure and won't move on you.

[@steeleaquain]

Why is it some videos tell you to open the ratchet and feed it through from the back to the front?

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

You can have the ratchet mechanism open when you feed the strap through, but it is easier to do when the ratchet mechanism is closed and out of the way. Thanks for the question.
