CARTMAN1" x 12' Lashing Straps Cargo Tie-Down Strap Up to 600lbs, 8pk in Carry Bag, Blue

I have had lots of experience over the years with tie down straps. I usually buy ratchet type but wanted a less complicated setup to hold a 60# trolling motor battery in a canoe. I'll use 2 so strength will not be an issue. The straps on these are a decent thickness, not that blowing in the wind, getting tangled up lightweight straps you get at the big cheapo tool outlet. The cam itself is heavyweight and has extremely aggressive teeth to grip the strap which I like. Most cams systems have smooth ridges that tend to slip with vibration and use. The cam teeth will definitely hold and might damage the strap in the long run if used in the same position hundreds of times. But so what? My priority is function and at this price you can afford to go through a few straps. Great Value and Function!UPDATE 10/10/2019: I still like this item but have a strong suggestion before using. I praised the holding power of the strap but maybe it's a little TOO good. After several uses I have found the very aggressive teeth on the cam buckle will frequently imbed in the strap and make it impossible to loosen without snagging the strap. Simple solution: hold the cam lock all the way open so all the teeth show, gently run a metal file across the teeth to take the sharp points off the teeth. Files easily as the buckle is pot metal. This will give you a buckle that will hold aggressively but release easily. Again, this is a great buckle strap and a great value, I like it even more now with slight modification.

Awesome straps. They strap just like a strap should strap. If you need a strap to strap things than need to be strapped these straps will definately strap it.

At first glance, these look promising. The straps are fairly easy to thread through the buckle, and they are easy to undo when there is no tension on the strap. However, once I tensioned these down to strap my kayak onto my car, they were nearly impossible to undo (although they stayed very secure and my boat was very tightly strapped down for a 2 hour drive on the highway). The teeth on the buckle are so sharp they eat into the strap itself. I had to use a wrench to open the buckle and could visibly see the strap material caught on the teeth of the buckle, which pulled threads from the strap material out and damaged the integrity of the strap itself.If you're planning on using these in situations where they won't have a lot of tension on them, they could possibly work. You need slack in the strap to open the buckle and pull the strap through more to unhook the material from the teeth. If you're planning on using them to tension something down, look elsewhere and invest in a higher quality product.Overall, I'm pretty disappointed in the quality and functionality of these straps.

I hate to criticize a small business that is trying to provide a good product at a great price, but I have to alert other consumers that this particular product is not worth what you pay for it. Basically, the teeth on the clip where you tighten the strap are too sharp. The result of this is that when you tighten the strap down to secure the load, you can barely get it off, after using a screwdriver to pry the teeth out of the nylon strap. You can see in the first photo how the teeth damage the nylon strap. I had to cut 2 of the straps off of 2 pieces of furniture because they would not loosen. Photo 2 is where I had to tie the cut pieces together to reuse the strap. Photo 3 is the cut strap. After the move, I took the remaining straps and filed the teeth down with my Dremel. Photo 4 is the teeth, before I filed them down.

I bought these for moving, so I could wrap some items together and wish I hadn't spent the money. Unfortunately, it's roughly the same cost to return as to keep them.Point 1: The straps are horrible quality. I bought a set of the lime green lashing straps from the same brand, and they have been fantastic. For whatever reason, these blue ones have a much looser and cheaper weave pattern, which catches on rough edges very easily. The strap material itself was so weak that the straps started tearing with <50 lb load, nowhere even close to the 200lbs for which they are rated.Point 2: The buckles are worse than the straps. The spikes in the buckle, which are used to grip the strap as it goes through the buckle, are pointed enough to actually sink into the strap. This means that you cannot release the buckle under any amount of load. You have to first relieve the load off the strap and pull the strap further through the buckle, so that the strap can slide off the ends of the spikes. Also, the spike poking through the strap caused significant damage to the strap, even under light load.The green straps were fantastic when I bought them two years ago and have held up incredibly well, but these are not even close to the same quality. Very disappointed with this purchase and I wish I had bought another set of the green straps.

Cam tensioners work great - pretty impressed with fit and snug - did not slip. Only disappointment was that out of the 4 used - 2 had failed at the heat treatment at the ends of straps where they are cut to size at factory - that’s 50% resulted in frayed ends from straps being used the first time out - mfr needs to apply a better heat treatment to strap ends to correct this issue - good buy - but before you use the straps - hit each end up with a lighter or heat gun to seal the ends first!

I was happy when I opened the package. Buckles are good, straps could have been heavier material but not super thin like others that I have seen.I used them strap a new door to the top of my SUV. I pulled the strap to tighten and the buckle held great. When I checked the other side to run another strap, the strap had ripped from the strain on the door edge. This is a new, high end door, well finished and certainly an easier edge than a 2x4. I ran another strap and the same thing happened. Maybe I got a bad batch but I am disappointed. I used rope to secure the door.

Simple and strong straps, I use them to suspend bicycles from roof beams in the garage. They clamp and release with ease. Pity they only have one colour in the set

Good for tying down but the spring clip will not hold under pressure. Use for tightening and then tie a knot.

Super quality, very tough and the colour makes it useful for use on the road. I use mine on my disability scooter. It really makes it show up on the road.

This is an excellent product, I used it for helping a couple of friends move house and transport all of their furniture.

Just what l need
