Review on 🔒 Erickson 34420 Pro Series Black Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps - 4 Pack (1500 lb Load Capacity) by Stephen Ball

good so 1 i really love them. IF they work. I did it in 1/4 the time it takes my friends to buckle theirs. but. BUT. There are 2 scenarios where they don't work. The first and secondary. sometimes they get blocked. To release them, you usually press the red button and then lower the entire handle. Well, sometimes, no matter how hard you squeeze (sometimes slapping works), it won't disengage. You need to insert a screwdriver on one side and pry up the striker plate. annoying, but not the end of the world. A big problem. eventually the return spring stops working. This happened to 2 out of 4 of my 2 inch belts and 3 out of 8 of my 1 inch belts. Once that happens, they're basically garbage. To get her to pull back you have to sit down and turn her, and it takes FOREVER. The springs don't wear out, they suddenly don't do anything anymore. zero resistance to withdrawal and zero retractability. Even if I help turn the reel, it's no use. If it wasn't in the last version, I'll give it 5 stars. Instead I'm docking 3 stars because spending so much more on them than regular pens (which last forever) just for them to fail really sucks.
