<p>[QUOTE="Brandonpdx, post: 12106777, member: 12929"]Regarding 2" ratchet straps...local farm and home joint has 27ft ones for $12.99. Not bad but the 30 foot ones jump all the way up to $29.99 each...quite a bit more. He said the 27 footers were fine in an email reply but his list of stuff suggested the 30 footers. Is that extra 3 feet really a big deal? Any certain brands that are better or USA made vs China or is there not much difference in how they hold up with use? He also suggested the flat hooks were better than the double J hooks and that 10 should be enough for a 30 ft trailer. Figured I'd seek a second opinion before actually buying anything to hopefully get it right the first time. There might be questions about the other rigging supplies too but the straps are a good place to start.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
