How To Put Together Ratchet Straps (and Undo Ratchet Straps)

Put together and undo ratchet tie down straps

[rajnishrao]

I am 48 year old man and would always fumble with ratchets every time. I am sure people like me were always over complicating it. This young man showed me how stupid simple it was all along. Thank you … I will never forget it now.

I appreciate the short, sweet, and straightforwardness of this guy. Thank you for your wisdom, we were over here trying to loop the straps as if it were a belt 🤦🏼‍♀️ less complicated than we thought!!

Taught me I'm 45 seconds what my dad couldn't teach me in 5years lol thank you for such a simple explanation

I’m embarrassed to admit this. I Have been driving semi’s for almost 2 years and I did not know how to connect a ratchet strap. Thank you for this short sweet simple video

[jenniferabbott]

Thank you! Your old video just REALLY helped this short 64 year old woman finally learn how to seat up a ratchet strap from the two separate pieces. Until watching your video, starting from beginning was an intimidating mystery. Thank

THANK YOU, One of the most confusing things for a beginner, but yet so simple, and all explained in a minute!

I've watched many videos on "How to use Ratchet Tie Downs", yet still I've had so much trouble when attempting to use them. That experience is a thing of the past, thanks to this video. He answered every question I had, great teacher! I'd like to watch u teach on other subjects, any subject, all subjects. Thank u, thank u, thank u!

Thank you! I've watched so many videos trying to learn how to assemble ratchet straps and this is the only one that made sense. I didn't have an outdoor family growing up and I never learned as a kid

I watched my ex use these all the time...fast forward 20 years & I've been staring at my new straps with great confusion. I love youtube for things like this. Thanks for sharing! This is a great example of not overthinking & overcomplicating things, like I tend to do. Ah yes, I will use the KISS method from now on.

Short, simple, to the point. Thanks! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[criscomorees]

Thank you for making this short and simple. Other videos are like 10 minutes long of them talking about themselves then doing what you did in 10 seconds. Not all superheroes wear Capes thank you sir.

I have literally turned to just using straps that you pull tight. I was walking to the trash can with a ratchet strap and decided to turn to the Internet first. You’re video made me keep that strap. Thanks!

[sandraclark]

Thank you so much for this video. Your method of feeding the strap through is correct.... I checked it out with the Texan rancher who helped me move recently. He was not around when I wanted to remove the strap from my drop leaf table, and I was getting really frustrated... I knew it was easy if I could just figure out the trick \method.... your video was a sanity saver THANK YOU!!!

[alanfreedman]

I was completely at a loss when I looked at my new ratchet straps. Thanks. I also love that you got right to the point

[markh]

Many thanks. This will make my life so much easier attaching my kayak to the van.

I would like to confirm that this is correct but also incorrect t the same time doing the strap this way will hold down a small load this time but as we were taught in our trucker training course. The strap should be pulled back through the times and given at least 3 rotations by tightening the strap for a Max weighted load

Why did this get 109 dislikes? Pretty simple and to the point.

who knew this guy would be helping people like me in 2024

[NewShockerGuy]

THANK YOU.. I keep always doing it wrong and then not only does the strap bind on itself but then it's a nightmare getting the one piece out because it's all tight and wraps under itself!

[Bibg]

Very well explained and to the point. Thank you from the UK
