Rope Ratchet 3/8" Tie Down System - Heavy Duty Hoist Pulley with Adjustable Hanger, 15' Braided Polypropylene Rope, Ideal for Kayak, Canoe, Tent, Camping, and Roof Rack Tie Downs, 250 lb Capacity

Very useful, I wish I purchased 1 years ago A*****

Very sturdy! Made in China, but good quality.

Great for securing things that need secured. As effective as a modified sheep shank knot that was taught in the girl campers of America. Way better than the 1” tie down straps that have one goal to tangle into knots and another goal to sever when in use.

I bought this after watching a YouTube video about using it to mount winter tires on a high tire rack. I risked injury lifting my tires so I got a regular pulley last year. The problem with a regular pulley is that you can't let the rope go! With this ratcheting pulley, you can pull and stop and the ratchet holds the tire up. The included rope was a bit short for my application, but I had a nylon rope lying around which works just as well.

This is a top quality item. I have purchased a few different brands but this one i think is the the strongest one on the market as it has the metal gear and very well made 🙂🙂🙂

I’ve been using rope ratchets for 30 years! They are the best tie down I’ve ever used! In fact they are so good that everyone who uses mine likes them so much I never get them back. This is about the 10th one I’ve bought! Now I do have to admit, they haven’t all been stolen from me. Some people “lost” them. Others borrowed and never gave them back, and some people offered to buy them from me. Whenever I have been without, I’ve tried other ratchet ties, but I always come back to rope ratchets. The thing that first drew me to them is that if you ever need a longer rope, you can easily swap out the one that comes with it for pretty much any rope laying around the house. Not as many people have webbing just laying around the house, like the other ratchet ties use. Now some will say you can’t crank down on rope ratchets to get them as tight as the other ratchet ties. That may be true, but with just using my muscles and tightening any slack in the rope I’ve never had a problem loosing a load. I can’t say the same from the other ratchet ties where the webbing has slipped out, if it’s not put in correctly, endangering not only the load but everyone’s safety as well. Ratchet ties have also jammed on me and locked up, and more often than not just frustrate me. But not the rope ratchet. It’s easy and dependable every time. Rope ratchets come in different sizes and load bearing capacities. I’ve tried some of the others, but this size is ideal for me. I’d recommend this to everyone. I don’t even have a truck anymore, but I still come up with lots of reasons to use rope ratchets, like quickly tying up piles of branches from my orchard to drag away.

These and all rope ratchet products are my favorite kind of rope and tie down products. They are so easy and simple to use and there are so many uses for them, you just have to be creative and use your imagination. I wish they would develop multiple different attachments perhaps an interchangeable system. Like a Swiss Army knife kin of concept.
