Ratchet Straps are a simple device. They help us secure precious cargo that we don't want flying around in transit. For a lot of people ratchet straps can be a source of frustration and angst and they shouldn't be. While the device itself is simple in form and function, Information on how to use them is not readily available. I've purchased a lot of ratchet straps over the years, I don't remember any of them coming with instructions. Unless someone has sat down and taught you how to use a ratchet strap, it's a good bet you may not know how to use one properly. Unless you use them on a consistent basis, it's also a good bet that you may have forgotten how to use one properly. This is a step by step instructional video going through how I use and store my ratchet straps.
I hope this video helps alleviate some of the confusion and frustration next time you need to use a ratchet strap.
Thanks for watching!

I'm not proud about it, but I don't use ratchet straps often enough to remember how to go about it and, recently, I had occasion to use them again and could not remember what to do. There were no instructions available and I lost my temper horribly. So I have been watching all kinds of KZfaq videos trying to avoid that mistake ever again. Yours is by far the most helpful I have found today, although others I have seen are good ones as well. Thank you for taking the time to help people like me for whom this kind of thing is not routine.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. If I didn't use ratchet straps as often as I do, I'd be right there with you. I'm glad you were able to get things sorted on your end. All the best!

Great comment, thanks! What you said is very true, a lot of straps fall off during transit as they weren't secured correctly. I sincerely appreciate your kind words and you taking the time to leave a comment. All the best!

For storage of the 2" straps I was taught to roll the strap around the hook so that you have a tight rolled strap with the hook in the center. Stores well. Also makes it easy to unroll - hold the tail and throw the rest of the strap. It will unroll nicely and you now have the tail in your hand to fish through your tie down.

If I was doing mostly flatbed trailer hauling, I would store my straps separately, just like you mention.
