Ratchet strap mods ( as promised )

Recommended Posts

Finally found the time to start modding these straps .

As you can see from the first pic the Nylon webbing is much too thin and slippery .

But I really do like the hook end , It has a keeper and a swivel !

The material is very thin and slinky but the ratchet mechanism is very heavy duty  .

The new Polyester webbing is more robust and not slippery .

I mount the webbing in my vice to keep the stitch-lines nice & straight .

The tape on the free end is a trick to keep the monofilament together and comes in handy  when tying off .

Since the monofilament is clear , I outlined it so you can see where the stitching is .

1 down ....and looking pretty good !
