Do Erickson Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps, Part # EM34417, Automatically Retract
Question:
How do these straps auto retract? Is there any problems auto retacting all 9 inches of strap?

Expert Reply:
The Erickson Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps, part # EM34417, use high strength polyester straps that measure 1 inch wide by 9 feet long.
The extra strap length will retract onto the storage hub when the red button (located under the ratcheting handle) is pressed. The auto-retract function is spring operated.
Depending on the load you are securing you may want to consider the Erickson Chrome-Protector Sleeves, part # EM06305-2. These easily slip over the straps and can be positioned to prevent the tie-down straps from rubbing on delicate parts of your cargo.
I have attached a photo of this item to illustrate the key parts of the mechanism. I also attached a video to show you how effectively the auto-retract function operates.
