Review on Vulcan Pound Capacity Ratchet Buckle by Richard Deng

I love that this item was exactly what I was looking for, however I ordered that the ratchet needs to be locked in place, the hook is kind of in the way of the handle so it needs something like Jimmy on the pivot shaft keep the handle locked when the tension is good, plus some are already looking weathered and aged. I'm hoping a light touch of lube can loosen them, but I'm afraid it's alignment issues in general. Otherwise it would be 10/10.
