Although the belt looks and feels good, once the buckle is fastened at the waist it is almost impossible to unbuckle. I've been a big fan of ratchet straps for years and love the small increments that can be adjusted. This strap is completely broken. Once tightened, you will need pliers or an iron man grip to loosen the strap. The Haixin belt is a bust. Look elsewhere, there are many other manufacturers. One star for looks.
