VERY interesting to us beginners, especially the twist to stop the wind from blowing the strap.
My OCD for neatness was kicking in seeing the straps twisted but when you explained it I was fine with it. Lol. And when you showed how you take care of the remaining strap that was really clever. Nice instructions Austin.
Slick way to deal with the extra strap!
This was interesting and I love that farm scenery!!
I thought I knew all I needed to know about ratchet straps but after this I feel so inadequate 😂 you are a great teacher Austin!
Thanks, Austin! Very informative video. I like the tips n tricks videos.
Thank you for that how to video, Austin. I have a set of straps that I used in one of my moving ventures, but I couldn't quite figure out to use them. Finally I relented and used them as a regular ropes, but that felt like a waste of money and straps.
Great 👍... every day you learn smthng new!! TY!
Great video. Keep them coming!
Hi Austin, great video, very useful with lots of applications. I love your channel, good luck with the new business venture from not so sunny Dorset, England.
Great demo, man.
Fundamental stuff but even us older cats need a refresher.
Look at the camera Austin. Your the star of the show! Really good video! I know a few truck drivers that could benefit from this video. Well done.
great lesson video!! Thanks!
Great video, simple to follow and well explained.
wish I’d seen this clip last weekend before I encountered them for the first time - good job Austin
Great info. Thanks for the video.
Thank you no wonder mine got so messy when I tried to get it un done
I kept also wondering what to do with the extra strap material thank you !
VERY HELPFUL -Thank you
This is good stuff man, believe it or not it takes two or three other videos to point out all you did in this one. Thumbs up 👍🏻
This is nice informative video and helped me a lot. One question. I am using ratchet straps on the roof rack cross bar of my mid size suv. What is the safest way to hook the other end of the ratchet strap? I just hooked it on the cross bar. It worked but the cross bar is thick and it didn't look too snug. The truck in your video already has a good designated place to place the hook which my SUV roof rack doesn't seem to have. It would be nice to know if there was a safer way. Thanks!
explaining why to use a half twist was great. I have watched a few & they say do a half twist, but not why.
ya it looks much better tied and folded at the end part
Great video!!
This is how I prefer to use my straps on some of my heavy loads, fast and efficient. Great tip and tricks, cheers.
Thanks Austin
Great job!
Fabulous, instructions that absolutely explain how to use these instead of fumbling with them until they somehow get tight. 😂
Great info Thanks !!!
I doubt I'll ever have to use that, im old.🤣. But its cool knowing if I did, i know how. Thanks Austin.
Damn, you made that look easy! I guess it is easy when you know what you're doing... I can't wait to get back to the hangar and untangle the horrific mess that is our collection of ratchet straps. None of us have been using them properly but now I can show up the boys because Austin gave me knowledge power. Thank you very much! :-) We have an old 2001 F150 for a work truck and most things we carry will fit in the bed with the tailgate closed. But when we do have to tie something down, it's usually an oversize crate containing something extra expensive like a wing aileron or a landing gear. The tie down points in the truck bed are awful but at least I will have new confidence in the ratchet strapping.
I definitely agree with you conventional tie down points in trucks are never in the right spot
great info bro
Quite helpful information. It will help me a lot, because I am inconsistent in how I install straps...never do it the same way twice and so I end up cussing myself. :)
Thankyou 😊
Thank you!!!
Very GOOD VIDEO! ! ! Thanks. I use to just CUT OFF the extra strap that was left over ! ! ! JUST KIDDING ! Cheers from Canada !
Best video
What are those technical looking work pants you have? seen similar a few times but never caught brand or where to buy them...
They are called snickers work wear they are out of Sweden
Keep the straps behind the rub rails per dot yall.
👍👍👍👍👍🍀 Thanks!
Agree with most of your video except for the part about the least amount of material on the spool. Industry standard is three wraps, otherwise they will loosen up as there’s not enough material trapped to keep it from sliding through.
Good point
yes, you can have too much or too little on the hub.
Also, take the first loop on the coiled up excess strap all the way around, 9:16 - keep going all the way over the coil. It then becomes a knot and can't come loose on the road.
08:05 How to tie off excess strap.
interesting !!!
Can you invest in a radio mic? Had to keep turning the sound up and down as you moved away from or closer to the mic.
I’ll have to look into them
Only issue is that nylon strap can not pass over the outside of Rub-Rail according to DOT!
The rules differ from place to place but that does seem to be the consensus
Could you do a video on how to use an extended ladder properly?
Yes, this is an argument in my house. The man says you can extend all the way to the next to last rung, and I say no you can't it does not have enough to support you.
Silly argument and question...but I don't want him falling off the ladder!
Absolutely I will do that when I get time. Thanks for the idea!
How to use an extension ladder? Cut the freaking thing up and take it to the dump. Rent scaffolding or a boom truck! Nothing is worth living the rest of your life in a wheelchair, on a ventilator. Ask me how I know!
That’s not going to go anyway. Had to say it lol😂
Most important part of the video is at 9:00
According to USDOT, it's illegal to have a strap on the outside of the rub rail. Their reasoning is that straps outside the rail could be cut during an accident. When I was hotshotting, I had to run the strap through the pocket and hook the frame of the trailer. If your hauling commercially in the US, you could get a fine for that.
I have heard that’s how they do it in the us. Makes enough sense though
@@AustinTischler CVSA here in BC will nail you for having straps on the outside of the rub rail as well.
0:44? rule number 8? or just prepped for shooting this video? ;)
Definitely rule #8! I have a knife in every jacket I have pretty much!
proud of you for that @@AustinTischler
Too bad I can’t hear you
Sorry you couldn’t hear, not sure what else to do the audio sounded fine to me
Doing way too much with the extra strap
Can’t hear you bra
do you take time to listen to your practically non existing Audio, good vid, very poor audio about mumbling the sound man. that is my only gripe.
"quick"? 10.5 minutes.
Lol
Invest in a proper microphone
