Since joining YT, I've learned that these types of load binders are not even legal anymore in certain states. Then in another post, someone was mentioning how they secure their binders, in a way I had not seen before. So I did a web search and found several styles but noticed that some binders I picked up at auction some years back didn't show up in the results.
So with all the variations of load binders out there, thought maybe it would be interesting to see what different styles the YT members have and use.
Yes, I have more than 3 binders, but these are the different "styles". The first two are basically the same - only real difference seems to be one manufacturer put a hole in the end. The binder on the right came from auction, and I never grab them unless I have to as I don't have experience with them. Which brings up the question, what are the good points or bad points of each design? What do you do to ensure that the binder always stays secure?
There's quite a few folks who join YT that don't have any experience using load binders or hauling tractors/larger equipment, so hopefully this thread will help others (myself included) secure their loads better.
This last photo is how I secure my handles to ensure the binder cannot possibly pop open. When I didn't have any chain to wrap around, I have even used several wraps of duct tape to secure the handle. What do you use?
