I'm going to put in an order to Damar for some ratchet straps and looking at their website, the options are endless loop, claw hook or delta ring end fittings and they will do them in lengths from 3-8m. I'm thinking of getting a selection but wondering what combinations to go for.
My current thoughts are to get
- 1 x 8m with claw hooks (can't see what I'd use an 8m endless strap for but with claw hooks it could be used as a light duty winching system)
- a couple of medium length (say 4m) endless and claw hooks for general use.
- a couple of 3m (shortest) endless straps for general use inside the truck.
I'm thinking of the 25mm wide 1.5t straps - I'd like them to be as strong as possible but the 50mm wide ones might be unwieldy in strapping things down in tight spaces.
Any advice, thoughts, suggestions or comments on what I should go for? Any particular configuration that people have found to be a life-saver/must-have?
Cheers,
