    I have to apologize. I was thinking of the strap pusher that skateboardman talked about for some reason. I wasn't thinking.

    Ive had two quick disconnect flags stolen. Now, as soon as I park, I take them off and place them on the drivers floorboard.

    Quick vid on tarp repair. I'd recommend making a few practice patches on a junk tarp to get the technique down. Not difficult. http://youtu.be/vsqxZ8ZtauU

    How does heat welding hold up compared to patching with vinyl cement? I found a discarded tarp at work and patched it with HH-66, and two years later I haven't had to rework any patches.

    I do like that it looks like a faster method.

    When I strap down tires on pallets or other types of squishy and also booms mini excavators and such I have some straps that the hooks got cut off. So I take the hook less strap and use 2 ratchets and pull to each side. Or I wrap it around a boom and pull both to both sides

    If you get the right heat and roll it you can't pull them off.
