I drive a flatbed and make 10-15 stops a day, and roll dozens of straps during that time. I always thought a cordless drill would work great, but couldn't figure out how to attach it. I never guessed it would be so simple!
I feel the same way. When I use a step deck straps are low to the ground. Easy to set a Allen key in the drill and wind up. Sames as a covered wagon. I've seen adapters you can buy but an Allen key is like 10cents.
Still using it. I do 20 loads every 2 weeks and have to roll those suckers up. My wrists are perfect. Another driver has carpal tunnel and I told him to stop working dumb. Let tools do the work and not your wrists. This job will wear and tear your body.
Cool, I didn't want to spend the money on the store model of the winder. found a discarded mudflap restainer, re-bent the wire into speed handle shape. It is always cool to have all your stuff packed up before they get finished getting the freight off the deck.
+Andy M using a dewilt drill now the same Allen key. Use to have wrist problems and this cured it. I suggest all those who do this for a lifetime do this as repeating certain positions can cause havok on your joints and nerves. I started feeling pain in my wrist was I was turning the wench. Cleared up after using this for a couple weeks.
I have a good selection lookof air tools on my outfit and have been using a 1\2 drive drill for past 40yrs. like the cordless idea also, no dragging an air hose around. good video I just hit subscribe button,
Heading up to Pittsburgh. Just beat Washington rush hour.... Anyway this is great because you can hold the strap with 1 hand and the drill with the other to feed it straight.
I upgraded to dwilt drill and still doing this with same Allen key in this video. Saves the wrists from carpol tunnel from constantly twisting hand joint.
I made a better one. Some time ago. Use a hook from a anchor for a bounce house cut down to size and add on a drill works perfect. V shape works way better
Old invention buddy.its nothing new.You will stop doing that when you wake up one morning and say dam should of stowed my straps in the box. Dam why are my straps wet, should of put them away.

Use a Dewalt drill cordless. A ton of torque power and can wind up straps that are stiff!
Get this man a dam raise where ever he works at
Good shit . Simple genius idea. That’s how u stay out the rain

Definitely doing this without any hesitation. Thank you

Been doing this for years!!! The Allen is a 3/8 ... gotta work smarter not harder!!!! Lol
That looks really cool. Thank you!!!
Great idea. Never thought of this after all the times winding.
Wow.
Thank you
Awesome, really cool 👍😃
Your doing gods work 🙏🏾
Great idea, will save me a lot of time. Thanks
Will people steal your straps off the ratchet? Shouldn't you roll up your straps a stoe the away in a tool box for safe keeping?
Thx 4 the vid
Sweet idea you just save me money today
I love the idea for winding it up. But my problem is getting them to release. I wish it worked that easily to release.
Instead of reverse do it the opposite
nice vid man and funny thing is i have both of those in my truck and never would of put the 2 together haha preciate the helpful tip
Still using the same Allen key. This idea works great. Especially for low trailers like step decks
Yea thats wut im hooked up to is a step deck so i will b trying it out today

very nice, and wont bust the bank

Smart
Still using this. I've seen many drivers with carpal tunnel syndrome because of repeated winding!
Where can I get those Allen keys for the drill?
@@chrisclark5178 buy Stanley Allen key set and use biggest Allen key from set. Home Depot, Lowe's,
I wouldn’t want to be walking on the other side of the trailer when all that metal on the end of the strap comes flying over!
Hi.thank you for video
Is there any strongest one ?
I am old and not strong to use the mertal bar.
Thannk you.
I now use dewlt 2 speed drill. Load bar I use has s curve in it to keep bar close to body so I don't have to bend over too much preventing injury
never drove flatbed but thats a great ideal
thanks man ☺👍👍
super. Thanks.
GENIUS
+Ronnie kamper Not genius...... I saw another truck driver use this and jumped on it. Always watching and learning myself
Best way
Why do you keep straps on the winches
Company trailers. We are constantly changing trailers
Nice time saver. Tags...
+Cozy Moose I still do this and it saves time and wear on my wrists.
check out my latest video tighten straps with your foot! haha yah
sweet
Check out my load bar foot video....even a better idea!
That makes for a lazy steering wheel holder
No it makes for a productive one 😉
Looks like a good way to hurt your wrist if you’re not carful.
I made a better one. Some time ago. Use a hook from a anchor for a bounce house cut down to size and add on a drill works perfect. V shape works way better
I do it faster with my hands than your frickin drill
😂😂
