Project Farm did a video on every brand of retractable ratchet straps except this one.

As someone who has spent countless hours combing through Amazon reviews of these retractable straps and watched the Project Farm Video, treat all of these as a wear item that will eventually fail. There are endless Chinese slop alphabet brands making these on Amazon and even the overpriced 'Rhino USA' brand isn't even made here. This price isn't particularly impressive either.

Even the 'better' ones like Strapino that did well in PFs review have several critical reviews of early failures and the retracting mechanism eventually failing so even the 'pay more for quality' logic doesn't apply with these. They are an awesome idea but make sure you have a set of the old school ones on hand at all times if and when these fail.

Push the button/lever and they retract like a tape measure. Probably with about the same force. Then you use the lever to ratchet like normal ratcheting tie downs. There just isn't a loose end, it wraps up in the mechanism automatically.

Community Reviews

These self-retracting 1-inch ratchet straps are mainly about convenience, with the reel keeping excess webbing tucked away and making hook-up faster and less tangled. The 4-pack price looks solid for light-duty use, especially for pickup beds, small furniture, lawn mowers, and other everyday cargo. The main cautions are durability and load limits, since the retracting mechanism adds parts that can fail and the 600-pound working load is far below heavier 2-inch straps. They are a practical convenience upgrade, but not the right choice for car tie-downs or severe loads.

Interested to know how these are in comparison to Rhino. I think this price was closer to the 2 pack of Rhino.
I have this question too

Well the best thing to do is use 4 straps when you only need 2.

Why? Unless its a Jr dragster, these straps wouldn't hold it

I had some of these retractable straps. They are convenient but not sure if they are worth the extra money but this seems to be a pretty good buy

Im pretty sure they are talking about strapping it down to a trailer.....not hanging it from the ceiling. Why on earth would these not be suitable for strapping a car down?

600-lb Safe Working Load. So 2400 lb for 4.
Compared to normal tie down straps that have 3,333 lb. safe working load per strap.

The 1 star reviews for these on Amazon tell the story, not a deal IMO
