Hey there cool video, I’m a cop car enthusiast and engineer and I wanted to let you know u did not purchase the spotlight model for that LED bulb. Instead you purchased the floodlight option. In my personal opinion is better. The spotlight goes further but the floodlight shows more around your target. Love the video and hope your spotlight is helping you. 😊

Very good Thank You.

Very good. Excellent even.

Very well made, thank you! I was so lost as to how to mount the bulb because the Ebay seller I got it from didnt include the wires...

Great video. If you have koozies the ratchet straps fit very well in them.

Genious. Thank you.

<mind blown>!!!

"If my method doesn't work with your ratchet strap, throw it away." What a waste of time.

Thank you!

Brilliant !!

Great tip thank you

Will that led light fit on a 2014 Chevy impala limited police car?

It's awesome of you to save critters😊 I like the truck lowering ending of your videos.

Better than my current method; ill be switching. 👌🏻

Thanks for not overdoing it with the humour, it was just perfect.

I tie a simple overhand knot at the end of the strap to keep it from pulling all the way through the ratchet. Saves me from fumbling around trying to feed the end of the strap back through the ratchet, usually in the dark.

Damn all my ratchet straps are dead to me now but I’ll definitely buy ones like that next time

I put velcro on all of my straps in order to store them neatly like this. Your way so much better. Now I will look cooler than everybody else with their silly stupid ratchets.

I really hate those S hooks on ratchet straps, i find them a PITA to secure, once I’d used claw hook straps I never wanted to encounter an S hook again! Just roll them in a similar manner but leave the tail longer, turn it 90° give the bundle a couple of wraps and thread the end through the turns to secure!

Whoa I'm an idiot because I've been rolling up my straps the same way for years without letting the hook out...

If you're ultra neurotic you can put a pen mark on the strap after you find that perfect length to tuck the other hook so you can find it fast every time.

Genius. Those things have been driving me nuts for years.

Good Stuff!!

Yeah... I hate this. I didn't have to watch more than 30 seconds to know I'd NEVER use this way to store my straps. For many reasons. The biggest one is I always separate my ratchet and strap when not in use. This allows me to be able to check the integrity of the strap and ratchet without interfering with one another. "Is the strap fraying? Is the ratchet frame warped or rusty?" This is what I like to check for while I'm putting everything up. It's hard to check it all when it's still all one big mess. The other big thing I HATE having to deal with is the "pull through" technique. Where you waste an extra 30 seconds to feed the end of the strap back through the ratchet so the input and output of the strap are on the same side. It makes it a pain in the ass to take out slack or adjust a load, it makes it a pain in the ass to remove the strap from a load when you're done hauling it, and it makes it a pain in the ass trying to separate the strap from the ratchet when I'm done with the load. The last reason I don't like this way of storing things is because I like to store the ratchet and strap in separate areas. It's important the ratchet stays dry when it's being stored to prevent the buildup of rust and make the ratchet mechanism stick. The straps themselves however are less important to keep out of the weather. They also get dragged through dirt and mud all the time and it generally makes me not want to put them in the cleaner parts of my vehicle. All in all, this video is probably only good for the lazy or the city folk. The kind of people who'd rarely actually use these straps anyways.

I have to confess I have buckets of tangled straps . Many times I just use rope because I learned how to use it while living on my sailboat for 6 years . But tomorrow I will have tote bags full of rolled ratchet straps . It will take that long to untangle them .

YES!!! This makes me so happy!

I've stopped what I was going to do, I'm heading for the boot of my car to sort out that mess, thanks.

They gave them away where I live. First come first served deal.

This is why I watch RUclips! Actually useful info!

thanks 🤠

Cool, thanks

dude ive been using straps my whole life both professionally and personally and im not easily impressed and this my friend has impressed me im saying this video and i will subscribe thank you

Great video !!

For Pete's sake man will you cut those damn tags off!

Wait, no bullshit clickbait? Clear and realistic advice without padding out a list or yelling about how 87% do it wrong?? Straight to the point and done in under 3 minutes?? WTF? I’m not sure you know how to RUclips, sir, but I hope you never learn any different. No need to be earth shattering when you respect my time this hard. 🫡 Do one on soft shackles next, or tying your shoes the right way (square, not granny). Whatever it is, I’m here for it

I’m too cheap as well

Thank you I always make a mess when wrapping them up.

Slow as fuck and mostly useless. Imagine rolling 20 straps like that wasting few minutes on each. And they aren't ready to use after you unwrap them like that, you need to roll them back again to throw the working end over the cargo. Just mill with two hands in a nice loose loop, takes few seconds per strap and leaves them ready to deploy.

Nice

I take the strap portion and fold it in half twice, then tie it in a loose knot. Not only is this very fast, but a strap/rope that is in a knot, cannot knot on it's own. It also unties and is ready to go in half a second. Your method is nice, but I like mine. :)

there is a whole-ass mystery cement bunker in the woods where i live! its kind of locally famous because its clearly a fallout bunker style room, but it was never fully completed. its built into the side of a hill and has everything except for a door and furnishings. its on public land and no one has ever figured out who made it or even when. the best guess is it was poured in the late 60's and that's just going off of people's memory of it being there. there is no indication of where it is other than people tell each other where to find it. occasionally people will camp inside it, but it will likely cave in eventually because there is no ceiling support. its literally just a large concrete box with a door and concrete piping for ventilation.

i wrap my straps up tightly and just stab a sewing pin into them. never comes unwrapped. when its time to use the strap, i stick the pin in the nylon near the hook, or i just toss it in the strap bag. if i'm feeling lazy, i just use a big rubber band to keep them wrapped

Bravo! Excellent video, sir! You’ve made my hour of flipping through bullshit shorts worth it for once. Practical knowledge delivered posthaste with a dash of humor midway through (and to button it up at the end). My faith in humanity is (almost) restored!

Legit, thanks for sharing

AMAZING

This seems like a great idea. I will try it. I've been pulling the straps halfway and wrapping them but I don't have a good method to secure them. It works better than wadding them up but not perfect. Here is my tip. Tie a knot in the strap so it won't accidentally pull out and you won't need to figure out how to restring it.

Just a little better than the way I do it except that I always make the hook end barely longer than the loose end so there is the fewest number of winds.

Isn't that just the natural way to roll up your straps? I would add that you should first pull the free end until it's about as long as the hook end so you spend less time wrapping. The most annoying thing is making sure the length of strap is nice and even so the hook isn't flapping about. If you use the same straps often you get a feel for this. OR my favourite solution: Retractable straps. If you don't need super high load capacity then these are a godsend. I use them for everything from motorcycles to appliances. I keep the old regular ratchet straps as backup.

Rats nest ratchet strap storage bucket, Damn , I’ve got one of those 😂

Yeah okay I'll get rid of my ratchet straps because the hook doesn't lay flat. How about you buy me some new ones then?
