Review on πŸ”’ Erickson 34416 Pro Series Black 2" x 10' Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Strap: Secure and Convenient Cargo Restraint Solution by Maurice Hurd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works well but will it last without breaking?

update later. I've had them for a long time and have used them many times. They are very strong and strong, but there is a trick to untie them. The red button you press to turn them off no longer works. You need to insert something next to the wound roll and pry it out. I use needle nose pliers on my Gerber. It's hard to explain, but if you just look at how it works, you'll understand. Without something to pry it off I can't free it. I would buy them again. Very strong. BUT you need to know how to pry it open to release it. They perform as I hoped they would, but they just don't feel very solid. I'm afraid I'll break them if I use them as anchors for my side by side. I like the auto retract and there is no loose strap to sway freely in the wind. Makes knitting much faster and easier. Let's see if they stand the test of time. Under heavy loads, the strap is difficult to unbuckle and seems on the verge of tearing. But it hasn't let me down yet, so I really can't complain. This is a very large strap so it really should be strong enough for me to walk side by side. I use it often and will update if any of them fail.

Pros
  • Best in my niche
