    First thing I would do is toss those pull straps in the dumpster.

    The one I used is a ratchet strap, I keep a couple specifically for cylinders. I'd say 99.9 percent of our straps are pull straps or rope. If I had to guess most of our ratchet straps are left behind by outside carriers.

    That’s unfortunate. In my experience it’s near impossible to get those tight enough to hold much of anything. I’m thankful my company only buys ratchets.
