40yrs of doing stuff, and this young fella just taught an old bloke a couple of tricks....never stop learning people...😀👍👍👍
lol me too, I’ve been doing this for years as well and I nearly didn’t watch the video because apparently I thought I knew it all 🤦♂️ wrong lol. Always learning!! 😆
dito!!!
Exactly. It's a foolish man who thinks he knows everything. Life is one big learning experience.
Crazy how a Russian is teaching us safety stuff. Lol.
You’ve been doing it all wrong for 40 years
The way I've been tying off the loose end for 35 years has now been shown to suck. Also, this gentleman speaks English far better than many in the U.S. who've been here for generations, and know no other language. Truly a perfectionist in all he does.
No wonder the vulture earlier today had its wings closed I understand now I thought they're leaving the wings for the Viking eagle for the back
Great video, but you missed one small but crucial step. When you did the sound test to check tension, you forgot to say "thats not going any where"
Good one!!!
That's absolutely mandatory, I believe it's in the code somewhere
just magic :)
holy shit! i thought that was only me. rather I ask the question to whomever is there to hear it "where's that goin'?". Wife says my girls make fun on me on social media for that.
I like using my buzzsaw voice "wheres he goin..... NO WHERE!!!"
This is without doubt the most comprehensive and well explained video on how to use ratchet straps.
What a perfect person for this video. It is easy to see he takes great pride in his work. Very refreshing!
Yeah, because a lot of people know stuff, but few can teach well
me at the start: HA! who watches a video on using ratchet straps
me at the end of a 12 min: man, this guy taught me how to use ratchet straps
Right? Me too
i'm guilty, too ... already knew about the core concept but i just saw some good tips for less hassle especially when handling more than just one or two. as always the right technique can make life soooo much easier.
yup. you nailed it. excellent vid and a good learning exercise for me also
Lol
Yup 👍😂
Im a public servant. Public service training sessions are a slow painful horrible day that NEVER ends, Days that you dread. I sat my Class 2 HT license four years ago (2017) and this young chap took the class. There were 12 of us all from various countries, backgrounds and different abilities/skills. The first day class session was 8am till 5pm, all day with a lunch break at 12pm. The next day was the practical exam. That first day class session was the most engaging training session I'd ever been in. He kept everyone up to speed at the same pace, made it highly informative, engaging and fun. (and English is his second language) Not at any point in the whole day did I once look at my watch! That takes some skill.....
As a old timer who used to rope and sheet back in the “good old days” I find this video the best of all the others. Clear, in logical order and presented in such a way that I will no longer be confused when it comes to strapping a load. Thank you for the video.
ALL tutorials should be as well-made as this!!!! No BS, no useless so-called distracting/annoying "music", just straight to the point and CLEARLY explained. Kudos!!!!!!
You my good man just solved the mystery off how to deal with the excess strap. Nobel price should be in the bank.
@Northern LOL. Me too!
Really....
The holy heck. This guy just de-mystified ratchet straps for the entire free world. That was really satisfying.
I used this excess strap technique last night. Worked PERFECTLY!! Thank you so much for making this video!
This has got to be the best explained video on strapping.
Or anything!
+1!
I came for the tip on how to deal with the slack. Best explanation on ratchet straps I've seen.
By far the best tutorial for ratchet straps. Hats off.
best ratchet strap video I've ever seen. a must watch for every man.
I use straps virtually every day for the last 15 years and I still learned something!
Your straps are much nicer than ours but the theory and use are the same.
Great job with the video and your presentation!
U been smoking dope and forget 15years of experience
@@rayban5737 You can do something wrong your whole life. Experience is not a good teacher when you only know wrong.
I will never stop learning
Ray Ban is just an ass clown.
@@r22jeff Thing is I don't think 'how to tie this shit to the truck' is part of the test to get your truck licence. I'm a crane driver and had to figure shit out myself on how to tie down the 1200mm-round thick rigger mats that I had to put on the deck of a 55 grove because the owner goofed up in getting those instead of metre or 800mm-rounds for the backbox, and guess how many times this sucker was last person on site and fell on his ass and head (... so many headaches...) because trying to lift those mats either required breaking the rules of manual handling (I HAVE to bend my fucking back, I can't get a corner! THERE IS NO CORNER) or saying fuck it and leaving them on site.
Okay I was a crane driver for a long-while before that particular job (fcking stupid shitting bollocking twatting bullshit), but still, loading and securing a ballast trailer with 50t of ballast (3x 9t slabs, 2x 13t cheeks), rigger mats (2m x 2m square metal mats), and lifting gear, no one ever said "this is how you stop this HOLY SHIT I LOADED AND SECURED PIECES UP TO THIRTEEN FUCKING TONNES WITHOUT TRAINING. AND NO ONE DIED SO, DID IT RIGHT WITHOUT KNOWING IF IT WAS GOOD OR NOT?)
Seriously why haven't I seen these things as a fucking course you have to take? I worked as an agency worker for a bit at a furniture distribution warehouse and had to load their trucks and IT WASNT IN ANY TRAINING. Or at least, training amounted to just... "Right so these go up top, these go on bottom, reverse delivery order so first deliveries loaded last". I GUESSED at what those dangling straps inside the box were for and used them...
Have you ever found the hook straps similar to what he used? I have been searching online, can't find anything.
I hadn't used ratchet straps before so I was concerned about the correct way to thread the long strap through the ratchet. I watched 3 of these videos and the other two waffled on and took ages at getting to the point and the main usage points. This lad was direct, clear and simplified the actions required, plus a couple of useful hints re storage of the excess strap. Excellent video.
This is my new favorite video on the internet, and I'll probably never use a ratchet strap in my life!
That’s a great way to secure the lose end. Learned something new. His accent is so interesting. It’s like NZ English with a Russian base.
Right? See I was thinking NZ with a Netherlands base
This is unbelievable! Two days ago I bought some ratchet straps for using to tie down my canoe to my roof racks. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out how to,work them and gave up in disgust. Today I was watching some videos on politics and bumped into this video totally by chance. Within a few minutes I learned everything I'll ever need to know about using this gear! Thanks so much for such concise and incredibly clear directions!
You sir, are a rachet strap god! And, the reason why the internet and RUclips should exist. Thank you for a fantastic lesson, now I have to go tie something down!!
This is the best video ever. Don't ever delete this, because no one does it like this (the right way!)! Thank you!
Great video. Was I the only one thrown by how perfect his English was with such a thick accent? It's rare to hear perfect sentence structure and advanced grammar from natives even.
Thanks for the complement))
Thank you. Now I got something to show off to my trucker friends
I spent years trying to figure how these straps work ( no kidding ). I going to untangle my straps and practice with this video. It was a very professional presentation. You clearly and easily understanding “lessons” was a big plus. Thank you.
I am glad it helped. I see drivers struggle with those every single day lol
Watched again and learned more. One of the best videos on You Tube. This young man does not waste your time talking about himself. Wish all were like him. : )
Been using ratchet straps for 33 years and just learned a new trick! Avoiding edge damage while using the strap is paramount though. Keeping the webbing/strap totally parallel while ratcheting up is essential! So many people just ratchet up and get the edges trapped! It ruins your straps quickly. Excellent video, cheers!
Been driving flatbeds over 20 years, don't know how I got to this video but I'm sure glad I did. Even us old folks can learn a new trick. Thanks a bunch 👍
I've never heard a better English that how he speaks it, it's so understandable, and amazing explanation!
This is one of the best explained tutorial video I've seen.
Hands down *the* best tutorial out there on this! Thank you so much, this has been of fantastic help!
Wow, this was a total revelation to me. I don’t use straps very often and they are always a mess. Now I know why, I have never used them properly. Thanks a million for such a simple and clear guide. BRILLIANT 👍
Thank you, for explaining how to use the ratchet strap. This is a very well explained step by step tutorial that anyone with problems can understanding a ratchet strap can be properly educated. Thanks again 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
35 years of experience or so I thought 💭 until watching this young man 👌👏 goes t show everyday is a school day 👏👏👏👏👏
Man, this is one of the best videos I came across on youtube about securing a load ...... thank you sir!
I stopped working with trucks 2 months ago.. but let me tell you, your video saved me big time working with ratchet straps and avoiding disasters, thanks man
Bravo😁😁😁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾the best securement video I've ever seen. The directions and explanations are so clear. My new go to 😁😁😁
Great job young man, you showed an old dog a new trick, Thanks from Texas.
You have explained this task very easily and professionally. I am a technical person but your explanation made it easier to follow and put into practice. You are a good teacher. Great job my friend.
This guy is the Rock Star of ratchet straps!
This guy just explained all this better than a native English speaker... well done 👏
This guy is very serious about his straps. Love it.
@safe driver training. I have been securing loads to pickup trucks and trailers for almost 40 years. Dirt bikes, firewood and odd stuff growing up and onto my 40s. I was in the Navy 11 years and sent 5 of those at sea and securing heavy aircraft topside for heavy seas many times. And most recently I pick up about 2 to 4 tones of materials and transport 150 to 300 miles to build once a week. I have never had problems with straps as you learn them better the more you use them.
But you sir just saved me tones of time bundlinng and laying out the tails. I just spent 5 minutes hands on at my trailer and got your method down perfect.
Thanks for teaching an old sailor and ranch hand a thing or two about the ropes.
I am glad it worked and helped you))
That tying off the loose end is amazingly clever, whoever invented that.
This popped up on my feed today. Great tutorial. Clear and concise. I'm 65 and learned a MUCH better way. Thanks
I love that the goal is to do it professionally. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Awesome video! After 28 yrs of longhaul flat bed, I've learned a lot of tricks, This young man just taught me one more that I'll be passing on.
Thank You very much, and well done!
The trick with the tail is AMAZING! Been tying down race cars since I was knee-high to a grasshopper and never seen any solution as clean as that!
Awesome instruction. Every trucker should do this. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I wish some one taught me this 40 years ago. good instruction.
I'm passing it on to everyone I see at the yard loading.
Yes I agree. Very simple and clean instruction.I like this guy. Everyone learns better from different people. This guy made it easy.
I've been searching for the best way to store excess strap when hauling, lots of Videos out there but clearly this gentleman has it down to a science! Thank you very much, great work!
Yeah, I usually just cut the excess off.
I am going to have to try his method.
I've always just rolled them and zip tied them
shreddder999 good one...
Agreed, tried this method on a trip here in NZ and it worked a treat. Strap didn't come loose, easy to untie at the end. Brilliant. I am not a professional driver just a joe bloggs moving some stuff between cities.
The ending blew my mind. All these years of struggling to secure the loose end never again. Genius.
Best Video so far on the topic. My trailer will never look unprofessional again
Better late than never to learn I guess. It's like one of those things everyone assumes you know, but in reality I just make some random knots on the tail and hope for the best.
I think we all just say fuck it shell be right
Jobless Gamer ........... within the last 7 days I said “ah it’ll hold” ...........lol
@@Kurtz6603 or if your here in Australia, yep! Thats not goin anywhere
When in doubt, tie lots.... ;)
Haha same here. Been using ratchets for over 20 years, now I finally know what to do with the excess strap.
What on Earth was there here to give a thumbs down to?? Well demonstrated and clear instruction, what more can you want?
No reason at all mate, some are just petty and small minded. They will thumb it down because they don't like the colour of his shirt, or his accent, or the brand of straps or some other completely idiotic reason. Or it's because he is able to do something they cannot learn to do. Green eyed monster type thing.
Meanwhile the rest of us have just learnt something valuable and useful. I have used straps for years, but always struggled when it came to dealing with the tail properly and professionally. It has always been a bugbear for me. Now that problem is solved once and for all.
Thankful for the great video and clear explanation!
He didn't get enough turns on the ratchet drum per the manufacturer of the strap. The drum should have more than 1 full wrap before it gets taut. Pulling the strap taut before winching will not put enough strap on the drum for a good bite. Overall it is a good video except that one mistake can cause the strap to pull through the drum. Thus defeating its purpose.
@@rpeterson3951 Yes, I always make sure to have at least two or three full wraps of strap on the drum, especially for a heavier load that would likely strain a lot more on the strap as the vehicle goes over bumps. Captain Fantastic is right, though, about how there is really nothing to "dislike" about this video; some shallow-minded people simply LIKE to DISLIKE a video "because they can"... it gives them a selfish sense of empowerment, and/or they falsely think that doing so "makes them famous for five minutes".
Not enough dancing girls & beer...
The moment you find something that everyone likes, without exception, is the moment you realize you need to wake up, because you are dreaming.
Best tutorial ever!! ...For a simple procedure, but nothing is out of explain. It not assume the common sense will work, although it Simply perfect!! 👏👏👏👏
Best ratchet tie down video ever. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic video. I’ve just started a new job with a double glazing company, and part of my job is to deliver to customers on a flatbed transit.
I feel 100% more confident about using ratchet straps now.
Thankyou 😃👍
This guy is great, everything efficient and correct. I just watched a bunch of these videos and this one is the best by far.
Great Job sir, constantly training my men and your vid made me a better trainer. 61 yo contractor.
THE BEST INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO ON RACHET STRAP USE I HAVE SEEN SO FAR WELL DONE
The most clear, concise and thorough instruction ever. What a lovely chap!!
Why is this one of the most pleasant videos to watch that I’ve seen on RUclips.
Very cool! My favorite part is how you dealt with the webbing tail. Exactly what I was looking for.
Compliment for the best explanation, is very clear for me also that I am not a truck driver! Best regards from Genoa Italy
Best demonstration by far. Thanks
"... then you grab your two hands..." don't know why I love that phrase.
This is one of the best tutorial/'how to' video I have ever watched. Brilliant explanation. Full of information. 👍🏽
Always used to hide the fact i couldn't use them properly because I could tighten them and loosen them off. But after the job was done I would be left with a pile of tangled spaghetti! I actually thought that was normal! My strap would NEVER come out nice and easily... EVER. Now maybe I can do it properly.
Thanks so much for enlightening me.
The way you deal with the free end is awesome!
Fabulous. What a professional video! I am not a trucker - but a well-rounded education is a good thing in my view. I watched this out of interest but this young man is such a fabulous instructor and presenter - I think he could teach anyone, just about anything!
Well Done! An easy subscribe, notifications on, like and comment!
For such a simple task, this man made into an art. Great step by step training.
Thanks Bro .Very good tutorial. Your never to old to listen to a young man.
Like one guy said -"ratchet straps never come with instructions". Good presentation.
I’ve always got along ok with using these type of straps, but...now I know how to do it right! Really a very well done video! When the grandkids ask me to help strap down their pick-up bed cargo I can now be...professional! Thank you for posting.
From one Driver Trainer to another, Young man you did a splendid job. As long as you take it easy and don't rush the quicker the job will be done... 🤠
You posted this year ago. And here i am thankfully learning ... thank you for your life time video
Well done mate, I use these every day at work appreciate the tips🇦🇺👌
Those tips will save me a lot of money, I usually cut the excess off everytime because I don't know what to do with it. : > )
Thank you so much for a perfect demonstration. I really admire your professionalism.
I'm 60yrs old and you can teach an old dog new tricks great video it will make me look smarter than I am .
Aside from learning how to use ratchet straps this is a great lesson on PROFESSIONALISM
just started a new driving job involving flat deck loading, something I've never done before. As I'd already seen this video, I was able to get stuck in and help secure the loads/release/stow away the ratchets and straps correctly. The best bit was knowing how to secure the ends, it would have been very stressful to try and work it out on the job under a bit of time pressure. Thanks SDT!!
I tried your method of how to secure the load, making it look professional, and it was the best, easiest way to do it. Thank you.
Tk very very much for your instruction....i m 64..but this is the 1 time i learn how to use it professional way....tk
Never used one and now feel prepared to tackle it. Great video.
The ingenuity of some people never ceases to amaze me.
Very well explained start to finish, thank you!
Perfect! Thanks slack-star!
Now I know how to actually use these things! Great video sir!
I love coming back to this video every half year or so...... It is so satisfying.
I want those straps, love the safety latch instead of the spring clips we have here.
I've been looking everywhere and can't find any
Update ,,, Found them !
@@jdog434 where did you find them
What an excellent video. The strap slack storage is sheer professionalism. That has always been my frustration. I hope I can remember this on my next load.
We can't do the half twist to prevent wind vibration here in Ontario Canada, though, because we'll get fined for that.
Never know how much harder you have been working till you see the easier or right way! Thumbs up!
Someone can finally explain it clearly and concisely, thank you !
One of the best tutorials I've seen. Neat, tidy and professional. Well done and I didnt pull my spine while watching it.
Lmao
Agreed! Awesome video!
A very good and informative video. I have been using these straps for years and after watching this demonstration I now realise how to use them in a more professional, safer and neater way.
Just found this video.... the best I have seen on ratchet straps much and much easier then the way I was shown, you so much
Thank you so much! 53 yearold woman needing to get things done herself. Awesome, now just need to practice.
So simple and easy to ensure safety! Thanks
