Snap binders.

I use snaps more than ratchets...quicker & easier. Only down side is the lack of adjustability. Sometimes, it's either too tight or too loose, with no in between. Picked up a couple of these, though, and so far I really like them. Completely eliminates the lack of adjustability problem, and as an added bonus they have a lock for the handle which saves time and effort securing that. I have clips I use on my other snaps to accomplish that...less work when it's an integral part of the binder.

 

I like my snap binders, use em all the time, best to have some so if you build a bulkhead, it makes to tons easier to make a secure one

 

Any time the binder has to lie flat on the material being secured a snap binder is worlds easier.

 

Course you can circumvent that issue with a couple of pieces of 2x4 under the screws

 

Yes. The way I secure our pole bunks in the way back to the yard, my chains end up basically sitting in a corner. I'm sure I could make it happen with ratchet binders somehow, but it would be a major pain.

Our company uses almost exclusively snaps. If I had my way, or my own equipment, I'd run an equal mix.

 

Granite City, IL...there's a tarp & equipment shop there. Name escapes me, but it'll come up if you google it. Might be tri-state or something like that.

 

Snap binders? Nah,never heard of them.
