    Northern Tool had 2" hand straps for $10 each so I bought 8.

    They look like decent straps and do have a 3333 pound wll tag. But soon after I bought them my wife reminded me about the harbor freight strap I bought a year ago. It shredded pretty darn fast.

    Anyone have any luck with these straps.

    Also, any recommendations on where to buy 4" straps?

    Not sure how many you're looking for, but I got a case of 10 at TruckPro in Columbus for $100, plus tax. Also got them to come down $20 apiece on winches when I went to the US Cargo Control website on my phone and showed the guy how much I could save there just by waiting 3 days for shipping....

    Make sure you check that website for an idea of prices. All told, I spent $360 and change, and saved over $150 off their listed prices

    I like the ones from Harbor Freight for storing my tarps and dunnage. If they get tore up, no great loss.

    I just get kinedyne 2 inch ratchet straps. They are only 10 or 12 bucks a piece and stocked everywhere that sells truck parts. 4 inch straps are about the same.

    Northern tool sells quality stuff, can't speak about those specific straps but I've never had an issue with anything I've bought at northern tool.
