[@ChristianDeLucia]

You forgot to smack it and say "Yeah.. thats not going anywhere"

[@lovingatlanta]

👍I have never ever used a ratchet strap but I want to however they scare me & that’s how I ended up here. This video is fantastic! I appreciate you. Thank you sir 🙏 from all of us daddyless daughters out here. Daddy taught me a lot of stuff but he didn’t get around to teaching me about ratchet straps. RIP daddy. 🙏💝

[@Archifx]

I’m glad it could help you out :)

[@donhall1834]

Excellent! Straight to the instruction with no excessive irritating talking! Great demonstration as well! Thank you brother 👍

[@dragonslayerthegod9284]

Yo that shit released and Wifey thought everything was over!! Over for her , the family , the world as we know it 😩😅😂

[@Therealdookieman]

Thought I was the only one that heard that 😂😂😂😂😂

[@vgmijpn8ball]

Thanks! I was ratcheting thru the entire long strap instead of pulling it almost taut, you saved me a lot of time

[@reginaldwilliams9792]

Thank You So Much!!! I got my first pickup truck and I just bought my first ratchet strap yesterday! I appreciate the no frills fashion that you taught this in! Great Help!!!👊🏾

[@Globerson]

Strap on?

[@laurab9645]

Thank you for just getting to the point and actually teaching me something. Several videos before just rambled on wasted my time.

[@Archifx]

That was the goal with this one. I’m so sick of all the filler and backstory when it comes to things like this. Appreciate it.

[@668ib72]

@@Archifx Great job saved me time!

[@maritafuentes7445]

After watching more than 40 videos and getting it all wrong, I am glad I found yours. It really helped me a lot!

[@aaronkrah1986]

Same. The other videos were not helpful at all, but he made it very simple.

[@WhyteKong]

Easily the best, no bs guide on TH-cam for ratchet straps 👍🙌

[@favorite3424]

I like seeing how you didn't loop it back thru. U just pulled it straight thru and back and it worked. I like simple and efficient and your technique is just that. Thanks.

[@SlackersIndustry]

yeah ive seen the loop one and now wonder which one is right or are they both right, but this one easier 1 less step 😂

[@faustoochoabobadilla5931]

My guy!!! Finally a great video all those other 15 minute tutorials from other people were worthless

[@giovannipradowrp]

Hell yea! Your video is the most helpful of them all. I did a quick search on TH-cam and they were all 7+ minutes long. Saw yours was under 3 minutes and immediately clicked on it. No BS and straight to the point,

[@Archifx]

I originally made that video to text my father in law who was stranded at Lowe’s and couldn’t figure out how to use the straps. It got him on the road and home safely so I figured if it was good enough for him to understand it could help a few folks out there. Thanks for your feedback! Glad it helped.

[@mariopaz639]

I’m glad I turned in!! I was pulling it through and then pulling it back over. It’s easier just passing it through and ratcheting. Thank you

[@roberttaylor9221]

Same here man lol

[@manny7028]

Life saver ! Thanks you! I’m in the middle of moving and had to strap some stuff onto the roof of the car and now i know how

[@carriedockery5347]

Thank you! Nothing like getting into a bind and needing to know something immediately but having to sit through a bunch of crappy videos. Thanks for getting straight to the instructions. I came back just to give you a 👍🏼 and to save your video because I know I’ll forget how to do this in five minutes. 😆

[@Archifx]

Thanks so much. I actually made that video for my father in law that was stuck in the parking lot asking how to use them. When he got the payload home safely, I decided to upload the vid to TH-cam. No filler or fluff... just get to it haha. It’s how I make all my how to vids.

[@chippsanders9614]

JESUS GOD THANK YOU! Short and to the point.

[@Cruzan9]

I wish I saw this video first. I was getting ready to go back to Home Depot to ask them to tie down my recently purchased dog kennel in the cargo of my SUV. After watching this though, I think I can do it myself. Thank you so much!

[@michaelcooke]

thanks man, I still struggle with the release action, but that's on me, your video did everything it needed to show me around the strap parts and actions

[@johnnystardust9918]

Thank you dad 🥺

[@barrybebenek8691]

Other videos are unnecessarily long and complicated in comparison to this video.
Thank you for making it simple.

[@peterto8050]

Thank you so much!! This is exactly what I needed. Watched a few others and was still confused asf

[@garstank]

Thanks. Had to send this to my wife today because I wasn't there to show her how.

[@big55trucking51]

Thanks

[@ericgrajeda2671]

Still have technical problems with it a few of them stuck. I believe clog or jam .....

[@Corgblam]

You can actually set the ratchet handle flush against the turnbuckle by doing a half-pull of the release lever. A pair of brackets will come down around the stopper to prevent any chance of it coming loose.

[@juan6richard175]

I did not understand anything you said 🤣🤣🤣

[@dragonmster0029]

Thanks man I just recently had to start using these in my life and this was a big help 💜

[@leroythehooker]

Awesome

[@porkchop1343]

Cool thanks

[@ericgrajeda2671]

Practicing your method yet you need to hold the straps together as you tighten it and what if you don't have any slack left to tie it down or into a knot.

[@monsearizmendi1572]

thanks. i owe my dad new straps bc i had no idea wtf i was doing lmao

[@Cruzan9]

😂 I feel your pain. It's frustrating when you're not sure how to do something.

[@misterpatron1]

Stupid question when you push with your fingers do you push back towards the load to unlock loosen it.

[@Archifx]

You’re just basically looking at the clips and getting them to release. I believe it’s toward the load. Yes.

[@frankwhite2]

[@josueabrego5072]

[@1stcwp]
