You left out the most important step. Once the load is secure you have to slap it and proudly state “that ain’t goin’ nowhere”. :)

I have been using these for 40 years in trucks with etrac to secure road cases, one thing I have to disagree with is pulling the slack as tight as possible. In my situation if you pull the slack as tight as possible the strap will not spool enough to keep the strap from slipping. the way we avoid this is to yes pull the slack until its tight, but leave a few inch's from the load you are securing. this ensures the strap spools enough times to not slip. this is why sometimes when you travel and go to release the ratchet there is slack and the strap is not holding correctly.

If your load is rigid, leave a little slack and you'll get enough wraps to not slip when you ratchet. If your load is squishy (like a load of branches or a pile of carboard), pull the slack tight before you ratchet, and the squishiness of the load will give enough wraps to have enough friction to hold.

This might seem random, but I was having trouble threading my new ratchet strap and I got a little upset because that’s something I’d have asked my dad to help with, but he passed about 5 years ago. This was the next best thing. Thanks for the concise and clear demonstration! I watched other videos that didn’t actually help but this got me there before the end of the video.

I should've watched this video last week when I hauled 50 feet of gutters and their fascia boards. But it was getting late, so I borrowed some straps from a friend and just tossed them in my SUV and went to Home Depot. When I tried to use them they were threaded wrong and I had to rethread them -- and did it wrong too, of course. I had too much slack to secure the load. It was dusk and getting darker fast. It wasn't a very big or heavy load, so I used 'Red-Neck Ingenuity' and duct-taped the gutters and boards together. Then I secured the load with a set of 5 ft long, heavy-duty Bungie straps instead. They did the job well but I was nervous driving the entire 3 miles home. Thanks for showing me how easy the ratchet straps are to use -- properly!

I already know how to use these straps, but your video is PERFECT for anyone that is a-little lost with these things. Thanks for posting. 🇨🇦👍🏼

I watched this video a while ago and Thank Goodness I saved it. I don't use my Ratchet Straps very often but I'm usually hauling a 3 Ton tractor on my trailer. I bought expensive good quality heavy duty straps that would hold my Tractor in place. I bought the straps about three years ago when I bought the Trailer. Luckily for me I found your video on the day I was going to use them for the first time and watched it as I strapped down my Tractor. I'm so glad I found this video. I watched it again today to refresh my memory and realised at least two of the straps are on wrong. I'll go out to my workshop later and re-strap them. THANK YOU for taking the time and trouble to make and post this GREAT VIDEO. I'm still going to save it for future reference. THANK YOU ACAIN.

Better to open up the ratchet and pass through the middle. So strap comes over the load and through the open ratchet and continues in same direction. This makes it easier pull the strap out when undoing it. I sometimes do 20 at a time on my loads.. and yes twist in the strap stops vibration and also what i call a tattoo mark to painted surfaces etc.

GUIDE TO VIDEO: 01:18 Start of the video 02:55 How to start the ratchet strap NOTE: At 04:12, you want to leave just a little slack here. You need enough webbing so your strapping can be secured onto the barrel by the other strapping. Two or three clicks of the ratchet should be sufficient. This should prevent any strap slippage during transport, and provide a more secure lock on the webbing. 05:18 How to release the strap 06:13 Mistakes - Threading 06:39 Twisting the strap vs Flat Strapping 07:25 Know the loading strength of your strap 07:48 Cheap vs Expensive ratchet strap

42 years old and I finally figured it out. Thank you!

Thank you! People where I work either havn't got a clue or don't have the time of day for you. Much appreciated.

Well explained. Another tip: once the strap is tensioned and holding something in place you can store the excess free strap length by rolling it into an “O” shape, then flattening it and pass it halfway through the locking handle. So long as there’s not an excessive amount the handle will still lock shut. There are other methods for storing the free ends, but this is pretty reliable. A little oil on the mechanisms from time to time if the ratchets are used on flatbeds / outside. Be mindful of stretch if the webbing gets wet - recheck tension enroute if it’s raining. If your straps have them, the number of black running threads indicates strength rating - i.e. five running threads usually equals five tonnes. Also the black running thread face (it’s only one side) tells you which way the hook ends turn. You’d be amazed how many drivers don’t know any of this.

It’s amazing how many people need to watch this...I’m a delivery driver and see the lack of knowledge on this subject every day...it’s amazing

I ruined one set of straps by not understanding how to work it properly, so now I bought another set, watched this video, which is the best one on YT, it explains exactly where I went wrong, and how to thread the strap correctly, .... And now, da da, I can do it, it's so simple when you know how... Thank you for explaining it in layman's terms...

Thank you, I’ve learned a great deal. In Europe when taking a bike on a ferry the deck crew will often throw up a racket strap, you have no idea, it’s down to guess work. Occasionally the deck crew might do it for you but almost cut the saddle in half and it’s almost impossible to release on return to the bike, pressure to depart quickly not blocking access for others departing. The following year you are in the same situation having forgotten how the racket worked from last year, it’s down to guess work again, not any more. Very educational video, well explained.

At first glance I thought why a video about ratchet straps, because I use them every day to me it's second nature, my 70 yo dad tried to use 1 and couldn't work it out so I helped him and it took 2 or 3 goes to get him to understand. In other words what seems simple to one isn't always simple to another so my conclusion is that is a great idea to make a educational vid on ratchet straps. Dad loves them now and will never go back to rope

Thanks I watched this too set me straight , cause I don't move heavy furniture that much . Been 10 years since I've used one , this video really helped . MB

Brilliant help thanks, was driving me nuts trying to strap my motorcycle into my van 👍

I looked at other Utube videos to work it properly and your video/explanation was most useful. Thank you!!
