How To Use A Ratchet Tie Down (FULL Tutorial)

In this video, I show you how to use a ratchet tie down. It is a full tutorial that goes over wrapping the strap around something, tightening the strap with the ratchet, and releasing the ratchet tie down! I have found that releasing it is the hardest part, and requires the most practice before being able to do it smoothly.

You should do an instructional video on how to do an instructional video, because that was great. THANK YOU for not spending 15 minutes at the beginning telling us all the reasons we might want to know how to do this. Perfect amount of detail. Thanks!

Seen it many times & bought one. Was absolutely gobsmacked with it but not knowing how to use it. Seen several YouTube tutorials on this topic but this is by far very explicitly explained. Well done!

[YAMISOOLD]

Just so you know that your kind video is still bearing fruit, I just used it to understand how to use a ratchet strap....AFTER I completely Fudged it up. I spent quite a bit of time unsnarling what I did and then looked up the topic and your video was the first to pop up. It told me clearly what I needed to know and now I have successfully used it! Thank you!

WOW, just what I needed! Your instructions were CLEAR, SIMPLE and most important THOROUGH to include how to loosen straps and start back to zero! Good closeup pictures of step by step. THANK YOU!!!

OMG this is the best video! I've had ratchets in my SUV and never knew how to use them. Also, I sincerely appreciate that you just went straight into the instructions instead of wasting our time with unnecessary talking!

The clearest and straight forward video I've watched.

Thank you! My husband is at work and a storm is coming and I never tied down the trampoline before. You helped me do that. 🙋‍♀️

Great video! I watched another video that left me more confused than when I first watched this and after watching this one, my first attempt was successful and it made so much more sense. Thank you.

Thank you for explaining how to release the mechanism. No other video I watched included this crucial piece of information.

[rasheemgraham]

Thank you!!! I've never used ratchet tie downs before. The directions on the package were terrible. This was so very helpful!

[tiffcut]

Thank you for this video! I have just spent 30 min trying to figure out how to do this. I stop to watch your video and I was able to strap down the stuff in the back of my truck within a few min after watching this video.

[jimmykhoitran]

watched 10 videos but still no clue, watched yours for 10 sec and now all my 8 tie down straps are done!!! Thank you sir

[matipunosnake]

Thanks. We're stuck with merchandise in the middle of nowhere and we're handed ratchets to tie down our stuff and we didn't know what to do and saw this video. Saved us a lot of trouble

[rometroy]

good job, soooo many people have no idea how to use these correctly. Even some tutorials show it the wrong way, I beleive this is the right way, always done it like that, never had issues.

[BillRouck]

I don't use these very often but when I know I'm going to soon, I like to re-watch a tutorial on them. Your video is very clear, thanks very much!

Thank you so much! I was having a heck of a time trying to figure this out. Yelling and punching was not working.

[jamesmckee]

Thank you. The video was great and stopped me from throwing the straps in the garbage bin.

[noona]

This was perfect instruction because now I understand how to undo the strap. I understand how it functions.

This video was a literal life saver. Had to make a sudden move out of my parents house, and I was able to mount a desk onto my car with some secure straps thanks to this video
