Today we're going to be reviewing part number TX855XT. These are the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes with the Ratchets and Strap Loops. The tie-down ropes with the ratchets are going to let you hoist, pull and anchor cargo on your vehicle's roof. It makes it perfect for use on the bough and stern tie-downs which are required for carrying kayaks or canoes. It's got a really unique ratchet mechanism. I have this side fully assembled. You're going to get two units.
This one is fully assembled and then this is how it is going to come to you in separate parts. We got the ratchet mechanism, the hook that goes on the other end of the strap, you tie it on there with the eyelet right there. You're going to have a strong 13' rope. You're also going to get strap loops. The strap loops are designed to go around the anchor points on your kayak or canoe. They're going to add some extra length to those attachment points.
It's going to make it great for meeting better load clearance. These are supplied. Some people don't use them, but they are supplied in case you find yourself needing some more clearance. This is the ratchet mechanism. You can see here that when I pull the rope through, I would have this point right here on my anchor point on the front of my vehicle or on the back, pull that through. It's going to tighten that rope.
It's going to come with the carabiners. These are going to go around the attachment points on your canoe or kayak. Just a really simple system to use. Again, everything that you see here on the table is going to be included. It's also going to feature a release lever that's located just above the ratchet spool.
That's going to let you release the load when you're ready. With this you're going to get two polypropylene ropes. You're going to get two ratchet pulley assemblies, two carabiners, the two S hooks, the two strap loops that are going to add the extra length to your attachment points. Again, the rope length is going to measure 13' long and Thule is going to cover it with a limited lifetime warranty. That's going to do it for our review of part number TH855XT. These are the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes with the Ratchets. .

pretty good ratchet. My only complain is that the clip (part connected to the black case) is small. So if you try to clip it onto a larger clip, its does not make a very big opening. Anyways, good part. Very solid construction, metal. Mine has taken a serious beating and still going strong. Rope very good quality. Does not fray. 410955
Ratchet very good, several trips, rope stuck under front tire, did not break ratchet. Solid
ted - 07/26/2018Good quality product. My only recommendation would be to add about 1 ft of a rubber covering at the bottom of the ropes, near the hook. This would ensure that bumpers do not fray or sever the rope when the load is strapped down. 95995
The tallest a very well with no swag. It's easy to load and unload. It folds up and stores very well as well. 680302

Needed to replace Thule tie downs prior to a Kayaking trip, as those I have had for many years were in bad shape. Several others I paddle with had same situation so I bought several sets. fast delivery was important and etrailer got them to me fast. Thule products are high quality, nothing more to be said! 428387

This was my 3rd order from etrailer this month. The videos were extremely helpful and all the Thule products arroived when I was told they would and were exactly as described. I have been very impressed with they customer service and their follow up process post-order to make sure you are happy. Will definitely order from them again! 388700

Etrailer is awesome Every time I order something it arrives so fast I can't believe it Thank you 234492
I just received my ratcheting Kayak tie towns to replace my old friction-based setup. They arrived very quickly and for the best price online. Having borrowed a friend's tie-downs in the past, I decided it was time for my own. I'm happy to report that they are very well made and a cinch to assemble using the provided diagram. To use, just attach the hook to your car's underside tow loop or other sturdy location. Then pass the provided nylon web loop through your kayak's locking U-bolt (or carry toggle), and join both ends to the provided carabiner. Draw the rope tight and tie off the remaining length and you're good to go! It's actually faster than reading this review! 212011
