Hi, I am wondering if the Safe working load limit WLL listed on your 2 pack tie downs like item #s 34414 and EM34416 are for each strap or for the pair. Thanks,

That's a very good question and the answer is that the safe working load limit (WLL) listed is per strap.

So the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # EM34416 have a WLL of 1,100 lbs each and 2,200 lbs for the pair, measure 2" wide x 10' long and have a break strength of 3,300 lbs.

The Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # 34414 have a WLL of 1,333 lbs each and 2,666 lbs for the pair, measure 2" wide x 6' long and have a break strength of 4,000 lbs. I've added links to video reviews of these products for you to take a look at.
