Ratchet Straps FAQs
What is the difference between a ratchet strap and a recovery strap?
A ratchet strap secures cargo and does not stretch, while a recovery strap is for pulling a stuck vehicle and is built for that load. Do not use a ratchet strap for recovery.
What does working load limit mean?
It is the maximum load the strap is rated to carry in normal use, and it is usually printed on the tag. Stay under it and check the rating in the listing.
Which size ratchet strap should I buy?
Match the strap width and length to the load, and look at the available widths here: 1-inch, 1.5-inch and 2-inch. Heavier or bulkier loads call for a stronger strap.
What is a STRATCHIT strap?
It is a compact ratcheting strap sold in this collection, with a shorter version listed as Shorties. Read each listing for length and use.
Can I use ratchet straps to tie down a tire or bike?
Yes, they are listed for securing bikes, tires and gear. Choose a strap with hooks and padding that suit what you carry.
