Ratchet strap demonstration video

Thank you! I've tried every way I could think of to use these and always screwed it up! And every other demo I could find used the kind with straps (with hooks) on each end. I just hope I remember this the next time I need to use them.

Thanks man I just set up a green house and it had rachet straps and Iv never had to use them that much so this helped alot!

Run the free end of the strap back through the ratchet, toward its hook. By pulling on it in this direction, you can easily pre-tension the strap before using the ratchet. The way you're doing it, you have to pull the strap one direction and the ratchet the other, in order to pre-tension the strap.
