Replace this strap?

I'd take it out of service and use it for making v-boards and edge protectors.

It's much cheaper to just spend a $20 bill than deal with a ticket or a spilled load.

 

to be on the safe side replace it because if it is found to be unsafe or it breaks it is a CSA pt violation of 7 I believe. Just tryin to help. If you need further explanation PM me for my cell number and i can look it up in the CSA safety manual

 

It's not a government secret.

It is Government, and it's just a secret to those that don't know where to look.

 

I hope you didnt buy a spare from a truck stop as thats a rip off. Do yourself a favor now and buy a box of 10 new ones online and save yourself a bunch of cash. Heres a good wesite to go to.

If it is nicked or cut on the edge then it will probably not be legal and will most certainly get a good, long look by DOT. I would just replace it and use it for what other drivers here are suggesting. Cutting it short to use on low loads like plate or rebar with a portable winch on one side works well as does using it to secure the trailing end of tarps over coils or when you have too much left over. V boards also. All good ideas. Continue using it to secure loads? not so much.

 

its still good for spanking momma

 

Unless she get's ahold of it first....then is it still good for spanking daddy?

 

And this thread has gone from ripped straaps to something else.

 

I had a flyer on my windshield in Oklahoma a few months ago from someone looking to buy the hooks off of straps. You might be able to sell the hook and get rich!!!!
