Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these ratchet tie-down straps for exceptional strength and durability, with many successfully securing heavy loads like motorcycles and appliances. The 14-foot length, Velcro fasteners, and storage case are frequently highlighted as valuable features. Most find them easy to ratchet and tension. However, a notable group reports critical failures with the release mechanism, describing it as stuck, misaligned, or broken after minimal use, making cargo removal difficult. Despite this significant drawback, most customers still consider them reliable and worth purchasing.

Would Not RecommendJust picked these up because I didn’t want to go home and get my other ones. They kept my load secure enough, however they wouldn’t release. Come to find out the piece opposite of the handle when squeezed doesn’t extract both sides from the teeth, pretty much making this useless, unless you get a finger between that small metal piece and the strap to releas it while pulling with your other hand. See one of the pictures above, I’m trying to point to it. These are going back and I’m buying somethi...
Complete and Utter Trash
Would Not RecommendTo be fair, they did hold down my load of lumber perfectly fine, no problem. Even made strapping them down fairly easy. However, I could not get the ratchet mechanism to release on three out of four of them, and the one that DID release (with a satisfying "click"), still wouldn't come loose. I had to cut all four with a box cutter. Waste of money. I should have heeded the other negative reviews ...

Getting them to release a nightmare
Would Not RecommendI’ve used many a ratchet strap. You pull the handle on these after opening to 180 and they don’t release. Total crap, will never buy his brand again!

Don't do it!
Would Not RecommendOnce tightened they had to be cut off. Horrible mechanisms

Came bent out of the box. Unusable.
Would Not RecommendThe ratchet came bent in such a way that the pawl opposite the handle could not disengage. It was too wide for both sides of the pawl to rise up the curve and one would always slip down when opened. I had to cut it off after first use.
