    For 2" straps google wrapadoodledoo.com the best thing since sliced bread and I have the original ones from 5 years ago.They store the strap neatly and hold the tail neatly when you are running down the road.

    There is a trick to roll up the tail end off the strap and secure without the need for tape or anything else.

    I try to not have to use anything to secure he tail of any strap. But, working for an electrical contractor tape is always handy. Leave a buddy tail as we call it and no knife needed. Most important thing though is getting your load there safely. Be safe out there.

    Here's how I do my straps, never had one come loose in the 16 years I've been doing it.

    Am I the only one who, when possible, runs the straps the other way through the ratchet and wraps the tail up and leaves it between the load and the strap? I don't have pictures because I rarely use 2 inch straps, maybe I'll set one up later today.

    I've done that before, the biggest problem is if you're strapped becomes loose for whatever reason your excess strap ends up on the ground.
