Video Transcript for Review of Durabilt Chains and Binders - Ratchet Binder With Fold Over Handle - DU49FV

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Durabilt ratchet binder with fold over handle. Now this is a heavy duty jaw to jaw ratchet style load binder that's designed for a medium duty chain securement jobs. This has a 12,000 pound working load limit, which means it's built to safely tension and secure loads up to that rating. This also has a 24,000 pound proof load. So it's tested to handle double its working load under controlled conditions, but that gives you added confidence in its strength.

So one of the standout features is this one inch acme screw. The large diameter screw is gonna give you strong, consistent clamping force when tightening down your chains. It's built for durability and smooth operations, especially when you're applying serious tension. So as I have the screw now it will ratchet. Then if I lift the screw up and give it a turn, then that's going to allow me to freely spin this to fine tune that tension, and then I just turn that screw back in and then that'll allow me to ratchet it in even more to get that tension that I need to hold everything into place.

So this also includes this forge fold over handle. So that's another big plus. I wanted to show you that it locks in whichever position you put it in, whether it closed or open. So I'm gonna push this button down that's going to allow me to fold it and it's secured in place. And then when I push that button again, that's gonna release it.

And then it's going to lock at the upright position so I can ratchet. So when you're done tidying it, that handle's gonna fold down. And this does two things. It's gonna help reduce unwanted movement or vibration during transport, and it's gonna make tampering more difficult as well. It is also lockable.

There's a provision here for a padlock. So when your trailer or equipment is parked, you can lock the binder to help deter theft, and that's a nice added layer of security that not all binders have, and you would just have to pick up the appropriate padlock to lock that handle down into place. So let me see if I can give you some measurements here without this flopping all over the place. So get my ruler here. I just wanna give you the barrel length. Looks like we are sitting right at about 10 inches if you can see that. And the take up is gonna be eight inches. So you're gonna have a good amount of adjustment range. And then looking at the handle length, I'm gonna go out to my wide view here when this is fully extended, about 14 inches, you can see that. So it's gonna give you solid leverage without being overly bulky. And since this is jaw to jaw, this is going to connect directly to compatible chain links on both ends, making attachments straightforward and secure. Now if you happen to have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
