Ratchet strap

550Doug · Feb 1, 2020

Is there any ratchet straps that will ratchet to tighten as well as will ratchet to loosen? Some times I need to loosen very slowly.

On most any ratchet strap, you could always pull the pawl on the handle and move the handle to a position in the middle of the stroke.
Apply a little tension with the handle, and with the other hand pull the pawl that prevents the spool from unwinding. Lower the handle to
the bottom of the stroke and repeat. Should work just like any come-a-long.

If you operate the ratchet manually you can do that, but be careful!

I don t know where to find them but yes they make a 3333# working load strap that has a worm gear instead of a ratchet. I have one
picture if I can get it to post.
