Nite Ize CamJam Ratchet Strap System - Easy-Release Patented Lever Pawl - Tie Down Straps & Ratchet with Adjustable Positioning for Varied Configurations - 500 lb Working Load Limit - Small

I have a military ratchet stap system that I have been using for years. However, the local Surplus store has been closed for years too and I can always use a spare for my dearest neighbors when the buildings management get hungry & want to enter an apartment without notice [they just say,"call the cops, then.". With some excuse like,"I'm just checking for dog poop!"]. CamJam is the BEST!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These ratchet straps are AMAZING. They're so innovative that you'll definitely want to watch the instructional video or read the instructions—NiteIze has truly revolutionized the classic ratchet strap design. I've been using traditional ratchet straps for over 30 years to secure items on my trailer, tie down canoes on my Jeep, and keep shade tents stable at events. These new ratchets feature two significant innovations that really stand out to me. 1. Modular Ratchet Placement: The ratchet isn't fixed to the webbing, allowing you to place it wherever you want along the strap. This is particularly helpful when I secure my canoe to the Jeep roof; I can position the ratchet where it's comfortable to use and where it won't scratch my Jeep. Be sure to check out the instructions on using the capture frame to lock the ratchet in place along the strap. Additionally, if the strap wears out, you can replace it without needing a whole new ratchet. One specific use case I have is a 20-foot span, which has always been a challenge. By ordering a replacement strap, I now have a long strap on either side of the ratchet—something traditional ratchet straps can't achieve. 2. Easy Release Mechanism: If you've used traditional ratchets, you know how frustrating it can be to release the tension. This new design solves that problem beautifully, making it easy for anyone to release the strap. Again, I highly recommend watching the video or reading the instructions—the system is truly unique. The quality of this ratchet system is evident as soon as you hold it in your hands; it's clearly engineered to last a long time.
