Video Transcript for etrailer Cam Buckle Tie Down Strap Review

What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out these etrailer Cam Buckle Straps, they're gonna be one inch wide and 10 feet long. These cam buckle straps are gonna be great for tying things down in your cargo carrier or maybe if you had a kayak carrier up on your roof, you want to strap down the kayaks, these are gonna be great for that. You have the cam buckle here in the center, which you use to tighten down the strap onto whatever you want to haul as cargo, so you see we have it run through the bottom of our cargo carrier with the open design at the bottom, keeping our cooler in place. We have a hook and loop strap here that we can undo that helps keep the extra strap out of the way. Now, it's gonna be really easy to loosen it, you just push on the cam buckle here, loosen it to take it out, and then to tie it down, once you run it through, you just pull on the extra until it gets tight.

And then, just tie up the extra, so they don't take very long to get set up or put in place. Cam buckle straps are gonna have a safe working load limit of 440 pounds, and then they're also gonna have a break strength of 1,320 pounds, so just keep that in mind with what you wanna haul. It's gonna be this rubber pad that goes right under the cam buckle, it's gonna keep it from digging in or damaging whatever you're hauling with the straps, I like that extra precaution. Also, the zinc coating on the cam buckles is gonna make sure it doesn't rust or corrode. I like that there's double stitching here on this section, 'cause this is where a lot of the tension's gonna come when you tying it down and you don't want the strap to rip apart.

It's also made out of polyester webbing, so it's like a seatbelt material, so I know it's not gonna rip easily. Now, let's go over how to use them. Now, they're cam buckle straps, they don't have ends on them, so there's not gonna be S-hooks or anything like that. You're gonna run the strap through itself, and then it tightens down around the cargo. So what we wanna do first is take our strap, we're gonna run it under the cargo carrier.

We'll set the cam buckle up on top, I'll run this through the bottom. Bring it right up here through the middle, make sure it's not twisted up. So then, on top of our cooler, we're gonna run it through the cam buckle, so what you wanna do is push down on the button and feed this up through there. Now, it can be kinda difficult sometimes, you only get a little bit of strap through or you can't hold the button while pulling the strap through. Now, that wasn't too bad, but if that's not something you wanna deal with every single time, we do have straps from etrailer that have S-hooks with keepers at the end.

This is the etrailer Cam Buckle Strap with the S-hooks and all rolled up, you see the one without the S-hooks that we looked at today is smaller. So if you're worried about storage space in your vehicle, in your glove box, these are gonna take up less space. Now, these straps come in quantity of one, but we always suggest picking up a second one, you always wanna put two straps on whatever you're tying down in your cargo carrier or on your roof. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out, and hope this helps.
