Select the Proper Ratchet Strap?

Ratchet straps are useful tools when large objects need securing. When selecting the proper size, first identify the purpose they need to serve. Take note of the minimum breaking limit that each strap can handle. Be sure to use a strap with a limit well above the items you are securing. If the ratchet will be exposed to water or submerged, use stainless steel end hooks to prevent rust. Find the right end device to provide safe attachment. S-hooks can attach to anchors or holes while loops can attach to hooks. Use an open end ratchet to tie to bars or beams.
