This is a 2 inch by 8 foot long, 10,000 pound rated deluxe car tie down with a built in axle strap. We will go over and cover some of the finer points of this device and show you how it works. Starting with the ratchet, it is a little bit better better than most conventional ratchets you see because it has a bit longer handle for extra leverage. This unit does have an oversized hook, compared to lighter duty models. The same also applies for the tie-down axle strap here. Some models actually have this coming straight out in the hook, which makes for a twist in the webbing here. With this model here the actual hook is twisted and does one continual loop basically with no twisting. This axle strap is adjustable in the length here with this buckle. So you can make it as large or small as you need to. Well now demonstrate how this works more

This is a ratchet strap with dimensions of 2 inches by 8 feet long and is rated for 5,000 pounds. This is intended for a car tie down with a built in axle strap. We will go ahead and show you how it works and how it actually attaches to your vehicle. We will begin with the actual axle strap itself. It has an extra sleeve on here for cushions, so in case you have a show car and you have a detailed under body, this will not scratch up your paint finish. And what it simply does, it just wraps around the axle or cross member and snaps over itself like so. The rest of the strap we have coiled up here, again you have 8 foot length. And the rest of that length will actually go to your ratchet here. To use this, your ratchet end will get tied down to the trailer and your strap will go through the slot here and that just pulls on through. Leave excess alone like that, then take your handle here, pull this lever back, and you ratchet it tight. more

This is a 1-1/2 inch x 15 ft. long, 4,000 pound ratchet strap assembly with the twisted snap hooks. This device is intended for anybody carrying a heavy cargo load on their trailer or flat bed pickup truck. Again this is good for 4,000 pounds, so you could use this for a heavy tool box, lumber or what not. This is approaching industrial duty materials. Again if you are not approaching that kind of weight, the 15 ft. length will help out in just about any tie down situation, even for a weekend warrior. What we have here is a nice heavy duty ratchet assembly. As you can see you pull this button back and it releases forward. To ratchet it down you simply push down. As you can see here this center portion of the axle, the strap will go here. To operate it you pull the strap through, take up your slack and then you ratchet everything tight. We will go ahead and demonstrate its use on a typical application. more

This is a set of four 1x6, 2000 pound ratchet straps. As you can see here we have one on display and we will show you a typical application of it. As you can see, the strap comes in two pieces. We will show you how it goes together and then how it works. First off what you need to do is release the ratchet, thread the straps through and then get ready to tie down what you are going to tie down. To do that you pull back on this trigger here, it comes apart like that. You take your strap and run it through this axle here. Come through a little bit and then back down through the bottom. Then take out your slack. What happens is, when you tighten it down, it coils up. Now we will show you how this works by strapping a box down. To start out with, you want to let your ratchet lay over the top, hook up the backside of it. What you do not want is to have any twists like this. more

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. more

These are their 6 feet long by 1 inch wide spring clamp tie down with strap traps. The Master Lock strap tie downs offer a convenient upgrade to standard tie downs. It actually has a bungee cord and toggle feature that clenches around excess straps and keeps it in place so it is not flying around while you are going down the road. All the tie down straps include the monster weave webbing and razor coat abrasion resistant protection, this adds to the durability and its strength. The medium duty spring clamps and ratchet tie downs both feature the S hooks with retaining clips to give piece of mind while you are going down the road. The capacities of these tie downs are 1,200 pounds breaking strength, but its actual safe load limit is 400 pounds. Next we will install them on an anchor point and show how the clamp comes into use. Basically how were going to demonstrate this is we will start at one point on the pickup and go to the other side to tie off. You see that snap hook right there keeps it from coming apart. Now we will go over to the other side and tie it down and show you how the storage for the other strap works. Once you tie it down, take your excess and bundle it up, put it through this loop right here, and cinch it down. This will not be flapping around in the breeze. There you have it for part # 3062DAT from Master Lock, their 6 foot long by 1 inch wide spring clamp tie downs with the strap trap. This package contains a quantity of four. more

Love the convenience of bungee cords but need something a bit stronger? We have the answer! Well, actually Master Lock has the answer in their EZGrip Bungee Cords. I am sure most of you know how to use a bungee cord, but we have a video using the EZGrip bungee to illustrate Master Locks superior design. As Joe points out in the video, you can never have too many of these around. They are great for cargo carriers, bike racks, roof top cargo, anything and everything you need to haul. more

You NEVER need to deal with flapping straps making annoying noise and damaging your vehicle paint AGAIN! This product from Master Lock actually has what they call a Strap Trap which holds the excess strap and keeps it from flying around while traveling. We were amazed on how well these were designed and how easy they are to use. We wanted to share our wonder with you and video taped Joe using the straps. These are a great alternative to traditional bungee cords and can neatly be stored in the vehicle or garage, you can never know when a strap like this will come in handy. more
