    Which brand of straps do u guys like ? I currently have kinedyne . Had them for 6 months and half of them is worn out and 4 have tears in them. Bought some crappy chinese ones at a truckstop since i needed a couple extras and they have lasted over a year with no tears or frays...the only problem they are heavier than the other straps and hard on my shoulder when throwing..i think they may be heavy duty version, not sure.. What works for u guys ... Any recommendations ?

    Recommendation ?? Protect your straps better. Put a twist in them so they don’t flutter. Do better at padding sharp corners. No reason for a 6 month old strap to be torn or wore out.

    I personally like Kinedyne... They don't twist up as you roll them up... I have a set of Exaloy straps and they do nothing but twist as I am rolling them up. Seems as though they are made from a lot thinner material than the Kinedyne straps, maybe that has something to do with the twisting?

    Our US Cargo control straps, usually hold up well. I know I had some on the truck for over 3 years. But then they got traded out while doing lowes, since for lowes we drop the trailers with 16 straps, so ultimate endurance test, idk.

    And yeah, kinedyne straps actually do hold up well. Mytee were good.

    DLD twists alot too while rolling them up.
