Genius - Had piles of loose straps in bags in the car for years. Resolved to sort it out this afternoon. Found this video. Effortless solution. Thanks very much !

Forever grateful for this magnificent hack. One variation I like is to wrap the ratchet side hook against the ratchet body, then lay the strap on top and double feed through ratchet. Seems to cinch together better. Still variation on your theme. Thanks for something with GREAT utility!!!! Gary W.

One of the two best methods I think I've seen. Thanks.

Fantastic instructions. This is the best I have found so far.

I don't use them often, so this method is great for long term storage.

Brilliant.

Of all the ideas that I’ve seen over the years, this is the simplest and most effective! Thank you!

We just fixed 8 straps this way. Thank you for sharing your solution, it solved our problem. 😊

I changed tha last step just a bit. Instead looping the long strap over the short strap, I pass the long strap through the closed end of the hook and then into the ratchet and tighten. Now you can flip the hook up and hang the straps.

The brilliance of this way is that you tighten it at after it’s wrapped, so it just won’t unravel mistakenly. Fantastic. 🇨🇦👍🏼

Just the best, been using your method for over a year now and it has not let me down yet!

I don't tell onlookers what I am doing when putting them away and they think I am nuts until the end and then they are like "woah, woah, woah, what did you just do?!" Thanks again!

This is BY FAR the best strap storage method I've found. THANKS!

[bigdogn]

This is by far the best, and tightest way to store my straps. Thanks for sharing this info. I also have to agree with one of the other comments, that if you use your straps alot (like every other week, then maybe the webbing method would be better, but this method is great for storing in your vehicle, for the few times I use them. Thanks again.

Great video! I need to watch it to wrap my straps every time! This works perfectly.

This is just the best!!

SO simple to do, & my straps went from a hot mess to super organized in minutes!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to show this, I really appreciate

[steelsteez]

You're a genius. Both in your presentation and method.

I used this method years ago but couldn’t remember it. After searching I found it again and yep it’s the best way. Also funny I have a few still wrapped this way but couldn’t fig it out Thanks!!!!

Awesome video. I had been looking for a way to use the ratchet to provide tension.

[jimhendrix]

By far the best method ive seen to date!!!! Only issue would be not having a hook to hangem BUT the cleanest looking if your looking to store in a box or trailer etc...

[heberhernandez]

Immediately after watching the video I went to apply what I learned in your tutorial, thanks for sharing!

I'm a self-proclaimed "Spinster MacGyver", and excellent demonstration videos such as yours make me realize that I'm 90% spinster, and only 10% Macgyver. Thank you for posting this excellent video, which saves me from running to my man-du-jour for assistance. YouTubers rule!
