    "those snap binders can be dangerous if you are in a big hurry and not paying attention"



    In Canada it is required that all snap binders be locked in place.

    this can be done with wire, chain or other devices such as:

    I have home-made my own binder locks out of 3/16X3/4 aluminum strips and small hitch pins from
    a farm supply store. I bent the strips into a U shape over a 3/4" pipe and drilled a 1/4" hole through
    both ends for the pin. (hint: use a piece of 1X4 lumber between the ends and drill through to line up the holes)
    I store them right on the binders when not in use.


    when I was flat/step decking I had:

    4 5/16X25 gr70 chains
    10 3/8X16' gr70 chains (two hooks)
    6 3/8 X6" gr70 chains (one hook)to use on machines or extensions
    8 3/8-7/16 ratchet binders
    8 5/16-3/8 ratchet binders
    12 snap binders with locks
    20 4" straps
    8 2"straps with winches
    6 each 2ton,4ton,and 8ton shackles
    24 steel chain corners
    48 nylon strap corners
    rubber padding
    cut 4" straps for padding
    20 plastic corner protectors for my tarps (cut from oil jugs)
    150 21" tarp straps
    tarp set

    Some dentures or implants can fix that problem.
