I love the concept of the ratchet strap because it always fits perfectly. You can tighten it up in the morning and loosen it up a bit after a long dinner. You are not limited to the holes that are already punched in most belts. However, I have tried three ratchet straps from more established brands and have been disappointed with the quality of all three. This inexpensive sling has an excellent ratchet that seems to last much longer than any other ratchet I own. I bought a pack of two and I think I will buy two more packs to get more colors. Excellent work!
