    I love my ratchet straps

    Dollar for dollar probably the best money I have spent when it comes to scrapping. Just loaded up my truck so I can head straight to the yard in the morning, not sure what I would do without them.

    Nice looking load. I got some from HF that retract into themselves so they are nice and neat when not in use. Mike.

    Warsaw , Ind. In the heart of the lakes, and down the street from the hotel where Al Capone stayed.

    We use the bigger 3" and you can ratchet them down far enough that you can bend the body of the truck if you don't watch. Snodley uses a 5 gal bucket to keep them in after rolling them up.

    They sure look like they would be a lot faster than rope. BTW, has anyone ever weighed one of those sofa-bed frames like in the picture?

    HF straps are considered hand tools and get lifetime replacement coverage..just keep the receipt in a plastic baggie out of the sun! I have replaced about 5 straps over the last 10 years

    Just a suggestion for receipts, for any of you guys that have an all in one printer with a scanner just throw them on the scanner and print the receipt on a regular sheet of paper and throw them in a folder.
