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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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!!!!
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. TH-camrs rule!
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...
Bill made a great suggestion in a comment today. In the last step, instead of folding hook in on itself, keep it pointed up and take the remaining short end of the strap and slip it thru the closed end of the hook and into the ratchet. That’ll give a hook to hang’em!
Fantastic .. thanks bro!! Just got back a bundle of straps .. knots and all.. this video was super helpful and awesome.. now that I’m 3 hours in .. I found this.. Lol. Thanks again..
This is awesome! Great idea...most other videos require adjustment or something. I immediately did this to the jumble in the back of my car. Thanks a ton.
GREAT ! Elegant simplicity over the other YT solutions.. I’ve had the “piles” problem for years. One suggestion: rather than rolling up the entire length of the strap, first double it over before beginning to roll. Still leave a long enough tail out for completion of the roll. Takes half the time to roll and the result is still the same. Next time I buy some more straps at Horror Freight I’m curious to see how they package them new. I think they may use rubber bands or ties which determinate and get lost. Nice job !
This is absolutely the best method for this type of strap. I have watched a lot of videos and this one works perfect for me as I have the same ratchet straps that are in the video. Thank you for sharing this video as of now I have all my ratchet straps stored in your configuration. TH-cam is great and that two heads are better than one.. Thank you for your time.....
THIS is worth 3,000 TH-cam views!! I’m not stupid, but I never have figured out a better solution than this! I always tried to keep both pieces together - so they’re ready for use almost immediately - but this solution is so effective I’ll change my ways! Besides, ratchet straps typically spent FAR more time in the trunk than holding down junk!!
the best Thank you for posting this excellent video, Fantastic! I love this method compared to the others. Thank you for sharing all my family love you ... God bless you brother
I don't use my straps often so I roll up my straps and use an elastic band around them and store in a small tool box. Will give this a go as I usually loose or break the elastic band. Thank you.

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

One of the two best methods I think I've seen. Thanks.
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.
That’s a great suggestion for the last step in order to hang them by the hook, I’ll have to give that a try! Thanks!
In the last step are you running the strip through the same holes both times ? Mine seem to get tingled
My fav thus far 😎✌️
Nice!
The HF orange ones have a strap on the ratchet that's too long.
The brilliance of this way is that you tighten it at after it’s wrapped, so it just won’t unravel mistakenly. Fantastic. 🇨🇦👍🏼

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

Awesome video. I had been looking for a way to use the ratchet to provide tension.
Awesome- need to try this thanks for posting. I like how do you don’t need anything else but the equipment itself!
This is a great idea. Saves so much of a mess and a headache. Thanks
Awesome man!! My bag of rachet straps has been annoying me for years! Think you’ve just saved me money on paracetamol🤘
Cleaning up my barn, and came across a box of straps. Found your video and know what to do now, thanks!
You just changed my life. 😂 Thank you.
Unreal. Can’t wait to earn some props at my next camp out with my newly earned ratchet strap storage skills!!
You're a genius. Thank you friend.
best of over 15 that i could find! so simple and yet tightest storing.. Thanks Brennen W you're Brilliant!
I just did this to the straps in my truck and it worked great. Thanks for the tip! So much neater way to store.
Works for me! The best solution I've seen and there are no hanging tails and keeps a tight wad that will not rustle loose.
I used your method on my 2 inch strap and it worked great! Just had to keep the strap tight as I was wrapping it around itself. Thanks a million!!!
Brilliant!!! Excellent video!! Excellent narration!! Thank you for posting
So glad I found this video
Thank you!! This saved me from burning all of them! Ha
What a brilliant idea, saves on zip ties and also rubber bands etc, much more secure and easy. Many thanks
