I really like these straps. This is my 5th purchase of the set as I continue to use it for the farm and for my business. I take my ladders to the ladder rack in my truck all day during the day and these straps work great. Easy to turn on and off, safe and tight. I'm not afraid of suddenly stopping and my ladders falling off the rack when I'm driving down the freeway. No more fiddling with straps, chains and locks. For me this has become a big purchase. I'd say it looks like it's going to get a lot of UV wear on the ladder rack, so I swap them out every six months and just "fire" them for agricultural use for safety reasons, but I got me never let down.
