Uses for Old Straps

Thanks for the idea of piecing out for edge protection! I had a plastic one split, and I lost two made from something rubber slide off a drum and get lost. I haul a LOT of crates!

 

+1. I thought that was my invention.

 

There are some "large" truckers out there, maybe you could make them into stylish belts for them. (If you patent the idea, at least give me a little something.)

 

It might have been but years ago I changed fuel tanks and peterbilt wanted over $4.00 a foot. I bought a can of 3mspray adhesive and 4" straps. Still there today and doing fine.

 

I cut them up and use them as padding under my chains or even under good straps.

 

Use then to make V-Boards and the rest I cut into 20" lengths, then put 2 pieces on top of each other and the wife runs a sewing machine down each side and I use those for edge protectors.

 

The straps or the lot lizards?

 

Either one or maybe both........

 

We used to do that for the mexicans that wanted us to weld 2 tanks into 1.....straps were a little easier on the welds thanthe rubber that come on the bands
