Got stopped by the OK HP

Thank you, I'm lost too.

 

I think auto correct might have changed "tails" to "tags" in his post.

I used to use bungies but the way I store them now makes it much faster to just use duct tape.

 

Oh ok. I don't use 4" straps but I have a little thing I do with 2" straps that works great.

 

I got a trick for both sizes. Didn't I put up my very first pictures of this very thing? But they kept coming on upside down as I remember.
Hm well I'll remember to take pics next time I go truckin and put them here. No sticky nothing. No residue. Nothing sharp. Nothing to prevent more clicks later on down the line.

 

Bring it on I'm interested.

 

This is what I do with my 2" straps.

 

I would either trap the tail (looped like the above picture) between the strap and the load / trailer, or make a loop, leaving out some extra tail and tie the tail to the strap. In Chile, the drivers hauling our stuff would loop the tail around the two posts in the handle before putting the handle in the lock-down position... slick and tidy.

 

That's what I do with the excess strap, whether 2" or 4" on a ratchet.

 

Nothing like watching a rub rail and ratchet get twisted and torn to shreds along with the load.

btw is that you sitting in the back lot of Oklahoma City Petro?
