Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the ProGrip Reversible Ratchet Tie-Down Strap

Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the ProGrip Ratchet Tie Down Strap. Now, this tie down strap lets you easily secure cargo in your truck bed or trailer. The ratchet mechanism makes it easy to tighten down the strap and maintain tension on the strap. All you have to do is simply hook both sides of the unit onto your truck bed or trailer, over your load, pull the slack out of the strap and then use the ratchet to apply tension and tighten the strap over your gear.Now, the main thing that sets this unit apart from others is it uses something that's called back off technology. Now, typically on a standard ratchet mechanism or a standard ratchet strap, when you release the tension, they have a tendency to pop and release all the tension at once. This mechanism actually has that back off technology built into it, so it gives you the ability to release tension just like standard straps as well as to release tension gradually, click by click or step by step.It's very simple to use and to operate.

Now, I can't show you that because you can only do that when tension is applied. This mechanism is a really nice design, so it has multiple positions. This position would be your locked position. This is the position you'd want it in as you're traveling down the road or during transport. Then, you have your center position, which is the ratcheting position.Then, you lift up on the release lever, slide it back just a little bit and it has this position here.

The little groove that it slides into, this is the back off technology position. Then, you open it up again to the fully open position, and that's going to allow you to release all the tension at once and give you the ability to remove the strap from the actual mechanism.Now, another thing I like about this unit is you'll notice that the ratchet handle and release lever is a really nice large design. The handle has finger indentions here, so you can get a easy grip on it when you're operating it. The release lever is also coded and large, so you can easily get that. Nice leverage with a large handle and it gives you the ability, once again, for an easy grip design.

Because of the large design, it's also easy to operate and control even if you have gloves on.The strap that comes with the unit is made from a durable polyester webbing. It's yellow in color, so it's highly visible. The hooks are double J-hook design. For added strength and durability, the double design, it's welded together. Gives it a really nice, strong feature and it creates a very durable connection point as well.

Now, these are made from steel. Again, they are very strong and durable. The ratcheting mechanism is made from steel. The hooks are coated with zinc plated finishing to resist rust and corrosion. The handle is coated with a protective finishing to resist rust and corrosion. The handgrip as well as the release grip, that's a durable plastic construction.The strap measures two inches wide, and measures 27 feet long. It features a safe working load limit of 3,333 pounds, and a maximum load or break strength of 10,000 pounds. Just always keep in mind that tie down straps and anchors must be chosen according to their safe working load limit. The weight of the secure cargo must not exceed the combined working load limit of the straps being used.That's going to do it for today's look at the ProGrip Ratchet Tie Down Strap.
