Chain Binders which are better?

Now there's an understatement.



.

 

I carried both over-centre and ratchet, but ratchets were, by far, my preferred ones. Of the ratchets, folding handle ones were preferred as they fit into headache cabinets better. Some customers and sites have banned over-centre binders, some even going so far as to say you can't even have them on the truck. But what they don't know won't hurt you.

 

Kinda like how fat man was a small explosive device.

 

Same kind I have

 

I have those type binders. Love em. However, there were two different types. The one pictured above, on the part that covers the gear teeth, the part opposite of the handle is flat. Using this type close to the deck is a pain.
The other style has a round part...much easier to use when tightening close to the deck.

 

Interesting.

It's the exact opposite here. We're only allowed to have snap binders, period. Corporate seems to think too many of our drivers would overtighten the load with a ratchet binder...

Granted, I drive for a mega (Melton). But something about the reason reeks of pure corporate bs to me.

 

Hum. Now there is something new. For me anyhow.

I love my center rings darn it. lol.

Go ahead take your shots teasing me, It's all good makes for a better day.

 

380 for a pocket, 357 mag or 12 ga. For in my house, and 30/30 if your outside or running from me. You will die tired.

 

Colt here, 255 in super .45 at about 1300 fps. I can hit a man anywhere on my few acres. But I cannot gaurantee that kind of a hit more than say 50 feet, 60 at most. Bad guy will have to breach into my home. I have a hallway which is exactly 7 yards as a kill zone. Buffalo Bore flat hardcast will do the job well enough.

I have no sense of inadequacy because spouse is covering me with a slug gun. Every other round is a dixie style big ball with 9 .34 or so caliber round balls behind it when it leaves the barrel, the bad guy is not going to be feeling that great. I don't care about myself as long as when it;s all over the spouse is ok and the home is made safe.

As luck has it the law is usually half a block away day and night so... it's not expected for bad guys to come in.

 

I love a 45. But in a old house with plaster walls I might not be able to shoot the person coming in the front door thru the wall with a 45acp. I mean i shouldnt have to get out of a warm bed to shoot a intruder.
