Re: Good ratchet tie downs
I got straps rated 3330 lb. working (10k breaking) strength and associated hardware from Ratchet Straps USA, US Cargo Control, Shipper's Supplies, and Just Harris. I wanted black straps, short ratchets, and hooks with latches that mount directly to the ratchets and also have 3330 lb. working ratings, not the lighter 2000 lb. working, 6000 lb. breaking strength. I also installed D rings rated as high; the recessed ones I found were rated lighter. I wanted the working load to match the car weight for each of the four straps. In an accident, the effective car weight can easily double its actual weight.
