Erikson Retractable Ratchet Strap Review

This is a 1 x 10, 900 pound rated retractable ratchet strap from Erikson Manufacturing. This is a really nice device. Its main claim to fame is that with conventional ratchet straps you have a length of strap left over when you are done tying it down. Most of the time you take the excess and shove it down or tie it up somewhere and chances are you will end up with a bigger mess than what you started with. This product alleviates all that with its self storage system. As you can see it comes with two conventional hooks, the ratchet itself and the wind up mechanism. We are going to show you, by tying this box down, a typical application. Basically you take your one hook and attach it to your tying point. Then take the rest of your strap and pull it to the other side. Make sure that neither of these are twisted as it puts additional stress on the straps that you do not need. At this point you take your lever here, push it back and it ratchets it down tight. At that point your load is secured and will not go anywhere. There you have it for part # E01331, the retractable ratchet strap from Erikson Manufacturing.
