Review on πŸ”’ Enhanced Performance with KEEPER 03508-V Camo 4PK 8' Ratchets: 400 lbs Working Load Limit by Dustin Ramsey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expected baseline performance

This works as expected and is very typical of competing products. I like the fact that the spring-loaded "release" locking plate is shaped differently (flat and straight) than the other side (the U-curve on it), making it quicker to identify the side to pull past . , loosen the ratchet, loosen the belt. Although it's just a bare flat sheet of metal with no finger-friendly plastic cover. It comes off a little easier than most others I've used. It should be noted that this carabiner is 2.40m long which is great for securing small loads and is particularly useful for securing furniture in a moving truck or uhaul trailer. However, I often have to lug piles of cut branches into the bed of my F-150 which, after the brush is piled high in the bed, I literally have to throw a long strap across the top of the brush pile on the other side of the pickup platform, to get to the side of the strap. At only 8 feet in length, this product may be too short. It's okay because I can use them for other tasks. Just think of what your future expected length requirements might be.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Minor issues
