Question:
I need some ratchet straps. I don't want to pay a ton of money for them but I also don't want something that will malfunction after 1 use. What do you have?

Hey Jordan,
The best option we have for you are our etrailer Ratchet Tie Down Straps w/ Storage Bag # ETBMB-05852. I've used these before and they have the basic functions and quality you need for everyday use without having to give up an arm and a leg to purchase them.
I bought some cheap straps a few months ago from a box store for a project I had to get done on a weekend and one of those straps fell apart about a week later. Our etrailer straps are used regularly out in our install bays by the video team and they hold up really well.
Check out the linked video Randy made to see these in action.

Hey Jordan, how did those etrailer ratchet straps end up working for you? It’d be great to hear how they’ve held up after a few uses. Your update could make it easier for others looking for a reliable, budget-friendly set.
