Review on Cartman Ratchet Tie Down Straps, 4 Pack 15 Foot 500 Lbs Load Capacity 1500 Lbs Break Strength Cargo Moving Straps For Appliances, Lawn Equipment, Motorcycle In Truck With Carry Bag by Joe Unruh

Love this product for the price. They work great and have held up the many times I have needed them over the last 4 years. To be fair, these are not a daily or even weekly use item for me, but they have worked every time I have needed them. My biggest complaint about these ratchet straps is the fact that the hooks on the ends are not very good at doubling back and connecting to the straps to secure items. Instead of the normal question mark shape that hooks back towards the base, they kind of act more like an L hook, which is problematic when trying to feed through openings and loop back on itself to hook around the strap. It has not failed on me yet, it doesn't feel as secure as some higher dollar straps do with a little more *hook* at the end of it.With that said, the carrying bag is convenient to organize everything together and I wouldn't use these for anything super high load or extreme importance because of the risk of failure, but for simple tie down purposes, they do the trick.I've even used zip ties to make sure the hook doesn't slip loose from the strap when doubling back, but again, for heavy items that "workaround" is ill advised(and dangerous).
