Best & Worst Equipment tie down straps ever made and how NOT to use a ratchet strap
What happens here
The presenter first demonstrates a standard ratchet strap tied between two trees. He tightens it to "tight as a drum string" and then pushes on it to show its rigidity. He then picks up a self-winding strap, demonstrating its winding mechanism and expresses his prior preference for it.
Goal: Demonstrate initial tensioning and features of different strap types.
Tools and materials
- Self-Winding Ratchet Strap — Illustrating its winding feature and ease of storage
- Standard Ratchet Strap — Demonstrating standard operation and tensioning
- Trees — To simulate securing a load
