Video Transcript for Review of etrailer - Ratcheting Tie Down Strap - e54BR

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the etrailer 10 foot long ratcheting tie down strap with the snap hooks as a 3,333 pound working load limit. Now this heavy duty tie down strap will let you secure the cargo in your truck bed or your trailer. Right here the sturdy ratchet mechanism, if we zoom in here you can see it'll make it very easy to tighten down the strap and maintain tension on your strap. The handle, if you look, is a nice, long, wide, hard rubber handle, gives you a nice good grip even when you're wearing gloves. And they offer this release lever that also has a little hard rubber edge on it.

This release lever will let you disengage the ratchet when you're ready to unload. So basically, if you pull up on that release lever and pull it all the way and lock it in that way, that'll let you pull out your free wheels. You can pull out as much strap as you need. Once you get the strap pulled out to how much you need, just take your release lever, engage it into the ratchet, and then go ahead and do your ratcheting. The other nice thing is when you get it fully ratcheted, you can actually put this into a locked position so this doesn't ratchet on its own.

Pull up the release lever, go all the way this way, and let it lock in there, and that's a safety lock that'll engage. And then that way it'll be all tight and this won't release unless you pull that release lever. Now the snap hooks on each end, you can see right here. These are anch, these will anchor the strap to your tie down points. You can see they have the spring loaded clasp here.

That'll prevent the hook from detaching from your tie down. Keep it attached. And the strap on this, it is a two inch wide durable polyester webbing. It is abrasion resistant, and you can see it has a nice, bright yellow color so it makes it very easy to see. Now the quantity on this is for one ratchet strap.

The dimensions, again, 2 inches wide, 10 feet long. The maximum load or break strength of it is 10,000 pounds. The safe working load limit we mentioned is 3,333 pounds, which is a third of the break strength. One note I do wanna mention now, tie down straps and their accessories must be chosen according to their safe working load limit. So the weight of the secured cargo must not exceed the combined working load limit of the straps that are being used. So just to give you an example, if you're using straps with a working load limit of 500 pounds and you're gonna tie down a load that weighs a thousand pounds, that means you're gonna need at least two straps to safely secure that load. And it is always usually recommended to use straps in pairs. But that should do it for the review on the etrailer 10 foot long ratcheting tie down strap with the snap hooks.
