Nice. Remember it takes 2.5 wraps around the spool for proper grip. The ratchet strap tightens by griping the strap against itself. If you get 1 or even a 1/2 wrap, it can slip.

I just went down to the basement to try it out. It took close to 10 minutes to untangle and separate one large ratchet strap. Another 10 minutes to step through your video and do the first one. Works great! Have to adjust a little for different strap lengths, but this is now a new standard procedure for me! Thanks!

Awesome Vid!!!! Thank you for making this video I have struggled for years on how to keep my ratchet straps stored in a neat and usable way. I am disabled and have a hard time with my hands and I struggle to get up off the floor because of my legs and back problems and it never fails that when I need to use a strap I end up sitting on the ground trying to untangle my straps and getting knots out of the strap before I can use it. I have tried making racks that I can hang them from which works well but it takes up precious wall space in my garage, plus that is useless when I am not home and digging for a strap out of the tool bin in my pickup truck. As soon as I get done typing here I am headed out to my garage and I am going to apply your method of strap storage to every ratchet strap I own and I am going to rip that rack off the garage wall and reclaim 6 foot of wall space that is badly needed for storage of other things. Please if you have any other tricks and tips for storing tools and other household items usually stored in a garage or shed please make a video sharing them with us. This video is the most useful tip you have shared to date for me, I use ratchet straps all the time I have hated them from the beginning but they are something I have to have and use almost daily and you just solved my reason for hating them! THANK YOU!

Simeon, here is another tip for people using ratchet straps. In Sweden, most of the freight trucks are enclosed with sides that slide back accordion style so you don't see how they strap down their loads. In the US we use a lot of open, flatbed trailers. When throwing your straps over your load, it is always a good idea to put a half or full twist in the strap before you hook it to the frame. If you leave them flat, the air rushing over the straps causes them to vibrate at a high frequency and if the strap is going over a sharp edge, the vibration can actually cut through or at least damage the strap. Putting the twist in it breaks up the airflow and the strap doesn't 'sing.' You do this on both sides of your load.

Love this for the storage aspect, but 2 things I don't like about it: you have to put it in the ratchet backwards - loose end comes out on the bottom - this is a problem if you're strapping an item with a flat surface - loose end is trapped under the ratchet. The other thing is that it takes FOREVER to roll back up. If you have say 8 of the large straps like used on a semi, you are talking a good half hour to roll them back up. I just roll them up around my hand to my elbow, fold them in half and put a little bungie toggle strap on them - takes about 10 seconds.

UPDATE 7/4/19: This tie-down storage method works as instructed. A few tugs here and there to get it nice and taught. The end result? I have taken control of all my straps.

here is another way... I take a milk crate or a 5 gallon bucket, take the strap apart, put the ratchet end (short end) in the same position you just did and drop it in the crate and hang the hook on the side. put the other piece in the crate and hang the hook on the side. the long part never knots up or tangles with the other straps. I keep several straps in my crate and then put it in my tool box on the back of the truck.

I have to throw the hook over my load, most of the time. I don't want to damage the ratchet by throwing It over and hitting the truck side or the ground. I almost always take it apart and toss the hook over while holding the strap. As a truck driver for many years We kept the straps and ratchets separate. It's ok for small straps not the bigger ones.

So do I, but I'm still going to use this storage method. When you need to throw the strap over the load all you need to do is hook the ratchet to your tie down rail and pull out a few metres of strap so you can throw the loose end over.

Never throw the buckle as it can do damage or hurt person on other side of truck. Hook buckle on then throw strap no damage and less chase of injuring person on opposite side of of load where you may not see a person. Still a cool way to store strap if not having to throw over a load.

C. Kelly My first thought would be Re-thread, Roll, and Ratchet. But since the video he saw it in was originally in German, who knows.

Good idea! Much better than the "roll them up in a ball" process that I use. Lol. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. I just went and pulled out the four straps I've got sitting in a box in my car all loose and fixed them up perfectly. 👍👍
