Towmax retractable ratchet straps are mainly about speed and convenience, with the loose end winding back into the mechanism like a tape measure. They make quick work of tying down pickup loads, small furniture, and light trailer cargo, and the reel design feels well executed for frequent use. The tradeoff is that retractable straps add moving parts, so durability and failure under heavy load are real concerns, especially compared with heavier duty standard straps. The price looks fair for the convenience, but warranty and long term reliability matter here.

Common Questions (4)

  • They can be, because the retracting mechanism adds parts that may fail over time. They're best treated as a wear item and backed up with a traditional strap set if you rely on them often or for heavy loads.

  • It can be a solid buy at $43.99, but similar Rhino kits have sold for less during periodic sales and include a lifetime warranty. If warranty and brand reputation matter more than upfront price, Rhino may be the better value.

  • Yes. The retractable reel removes the loose end, so you can tighten and store the strap faster than with manual tie-downs. They're especially convenient for frequent use in a pickup bed or on a small trailer.

  • The set is listed at 600 lb safe working load per strap, or 2,400 lb total for the 4-pack. That is lower than some standard tie-down straps, which can be rated around 3,333 lb per strap.

I think the 2 for $25 might be a better deal. Good Christmas/Birthday gift idea for any man with a truck. If anybody wants to buy me one, my birthday is coming up.

Guys - I would look at RhinoUSA straps simply because of their lifetime warranty. I have never heard to this brand in the post. As for the RhinoUSA ones, I had one of these fail on my they sent on over without a bunch of jumping through hoops and sending the one that got stuck back. IMO, that is well work knowing a company stands behind their stuff...

These are for making it easier to strap things down in the bed of a pickup. Like small furniture your wife decided to buy or maybe a lawn mower on a small flat bed trailer. They are much easier to work with and take half the time to apply. There is no way I would use these to strap a car down and is probably illegal to do so per FMCSA Securement Rules.

reposted from the other deal - I dont use my straps more than once or twice a month. These feel like a more expensive and probably more fragile solution to solve a problem I have infrequently with my traditional straps. If someone was using their straps very frequently I could see the appeal of this style strap, but if that were the case I would not be skimping on straps. Saving a few dollars on subpar straps just to have my secured loan come unsecured and possibly damaged doesnt seem like its worth the savings.

Looks to be whitebox w/ branding. If you're going to get cheap straps, why not get these at only $27 AC?

If you want black, this brand is $33:

I used these to strap my lambo on my car hauler I was pulling with my Tacoma. They're legit.

FWIW: I bought a Rhino strap kit similar to this one for less money on sale. They run the sales a few times a year. They have a lifetime warranty and are from a well known and long established company. While I think this is a good deal, if you are patient I believe you can find a better one.

I can't speak for this specific brand, but I will say that this is one of those things that you'll kick yourself for not switching to sooner. The difference in ease, speed and storage is insane.

I just got these. These are pretty fantastic. I'm not sure that the retracting idea is all that novel, it's just a reel for the excess strap. Clever idea. Pretty well executed. I'm not testing it to failure like on Project Farm, mostly light duty to strap furniture to my dolly. I think it's a great price for the 4. I think 4 of the normal ratcheting straps are about the same price from Costco/Sams Club. They are lighter duty, but the convenience is worth it imo.
