Thanks Michael. I’m a 36 year old Air Force officer and had to look you up to see how it’s done. You’re a wise old man helping the world
I have a few of these Mike. Problem is that I use them very infrequently and forget how they actually work!!!😄
Thank you for showing how it's done. I'm ashamed to admit that during a move a few years ago, out of frustration, I just ended up tying the straps into knots to hold things down. LOL
Thanks for commenting, I think we have all been there :) I did it myself years ago which is one of the reasons I made the video
These things are impossible to use. I've Tried many times. Sometimes when i really screw it up I have to cut them off with a knife. Thats the best case scenario for me.one time use only. And now FINALLY I'm going to watch a video on the proper way. I'm gonna have to see this to believe it!! Wish me luck.
Michael Collinson don’t be ashamed John, there’s more of us out there. 😂
never be ashamed of doing what ya gotta do to get it done! lol
Thank you. Saved the day. Got a slack line for my daughter’s birthday party. Came with ratchet straps. Couldn’t figure them out. This video was perfect.
I'm really glad it helped, many thanks for watching
Hey cheers Mike, was just tackling this for the first time at 40 to pick up a fridge for my sister, other videos online had different mechanisms so for the life of me i couldn't figure out how to undo them. All the best from a brisk spring evening in Christchurch NZ.
Hi Marcus, I'm really pleased that this has been useful, thanks for commenting and have a great day!
Thank you I bought one last night & tried to figure this out for about 4 hrs before giving up & coming to youtube where you were here to help, bless you. many thanks from Kentucky USA
What a wholesome guy lol❤️
This was a little longer than the first video I watched but I was able to see what you did and follow along and got it right! Thank you
I'm glad it was useful, Thanks for watching
What a great and straight forward video and I was able to follow it straight away thanks micheal
out of all the videos on youtube 'showing' you how to do this, this guy has won it hands down. Easy, clear and concise... even with the camera mishap! haha thanks my dude
Wow, thanks for the great comment and many thanks for watching
Thanks mike, it's really useful.
Thanks Mike - ive had 4 of these straps for a year but only just getting around to using them now ....
was clueless how these things go to together really....
So Gday from Australia and thx for making this video :D
I purchased some straps to hold 2 pieces of a table top that split...I'm gluing it back together. I managed to tighten it....But you have just shown me the correct way to do it. Thank you.
New subscriber here, hello from California. What a great video thank you so much. Of all the videos I’ve watched on these straps yours was the easiest for me to understand. I’m new to owning these things myself and I could not for the life of me figure them out lol. I have liked, saved, subscribed, and hit the 🔔 for future videos. Thanks again, I now feel I can transport safely. 👏👏👏
Very helpful as I could not make "head nor tail" of the instructions.
I'm glad it was of help, I had the same problem when I first started which is why I made the video.
Must say, I was totally stumped about how to release the ratchet - drove me half mad. Until you showed me there are TWO release tabs. Brilliant, thanks mate!
I'm glad it helped, thanks for the comment and for watching

+LoneWolfYoitsu Thanks for stopping by, I'm glad it was useful
Hi Michael .. Just to let you know some technical details .. on the BLUE label on the strap, there is a weight load tested standard .. Check it out. There should be a number something like 400dn = 400 kg .... 100dn =100 kg .....1000 dn = 1 tonne or 1000 kg .. force weight resistance from break point so if your using a 400dn strap to tie down a car which may weigh a 1000 lg + to a trailer it will be of no use .. or even if you`re using the same strap to tie down a 1000 kg of bricks to a trailer it will be of no use. As an example if you was pulled over by the DVSA or VOSA ( past term ) and they check the straps you will be forced to either remove your load or stopped to carry on until you rectify your load strapping. all the force must be of downward onto a trailer or the bed of your unit your carrying. kind Regards ( A trucker, who has had the force felt against him !!! )
Thanks for the really constructive info, I have just checked and sure enough there was the blue label with the weight, I had never noticed it before. Thanks again for the info and I will take note of what you said.
Thanks for sharing like and support thumbs up👍

Tip: When using them on the road, give a twist or two to the long free part over the load before feeding into the ratchet and tightening up.
This stops them vibrating or "humming".
That sounds good advice
I think it can be very useful once you start using this on regular basis gets easier.
+Raf's Kitchen Garden I'm starting to use it more and more
Thanks! Helped a lot the instructions on the box sucked.
I'm glad it was helpful
ah yes. those straps can be quite annoying to get started.
Mind your fingers champ, just release from the handle side, especially if you have more tension.
Just my two pennies worth Mike, both straps should always lay flat to the load WITHOUT any twists before tightening down, if there's a twist the full tightening pressure will not be achieved. Also seen this so many times even from so called professional drivers, position the ratchets on the near side of a vehicle or trailer, if you need to stop and retighten them after starting off you don't want to be standing on the side that the traffic is whizzing by you at 60mph [makes sense -yes!] be safe!
+Charlie Cat Hi, many thanks for the constructive comments, I shall take note of them all
Those ratchet straps would be quite useful for a lot of projects.
Someone needs to show correct way to do it
Vid was almost good still pictures do nothing to explain what u missed, that could have been put in a small vid
please, re-do it, the release was not clearly seen!
Useless! All the important information was obscured. Suggest to redo it with better quality camera
Sorry about that I am in my late 70s and the camera I have is all I can afford, I just thought it would help someone
Truly awful
When you do not capture the most important part of your demonstration, erase and retake. Call it take 2 and don't waste my time.
Halo 4Me you should delete your icon as it is uoside down and repost it...or does your vehicle perform barrel rolls mid air?
J. R Hartley international sign of distress!
Wrong OLD MAN, you don't secure the short end of the ratchet, that is actually the last part you do. Your feeding is incorrect too, you were actually feeding it twice, when it is actually not necessary at all.
Well the "Old" is certainly right as I'm in my mid 70s but everything seemed fine to me, it holds the load securely every time without any problems however I'm sure you are right and there are other ways to do it. Have a nice day
