Rope Ratchet 1/4" Adjustable Pulley System, Heavy-Duty Locking Strap for Hoisting, Tarp Tie Down, Gear Securing, Tent Setup, Grow Light Hanging, 15' Braided Polypropylene Rope, 150 lb Capacity

I loved that it made my tie down of my kayak much faster and easier to secure it. Great value too.

Easy to use works well on all my tie down applicationsFast, simple and easy

Looks well made

I'm taking one star because of the the cost. That said, these are strong, convenient and compact. Rope could be better, but that's an easy fix. The ratchet itself has good size pins for the hook and axle for the gear and looks like they are a adequately anchored. I think you could get 5/16 rope in the mechanism, if desired for strength, and looks strong enough to handle this. I've done this to my old ones (brand unknown) and worked great, once I worked the bigger diameter rope through the pulley system. The gear looks like cheaper metal (zinc over pot metal, I think), but am glad it's not plastic and seems strong enough to handle anything within reason (don't strap down a bulldozer with it). I've used these types for a while and they haven't failed me yet. In fact, that is why I bought a few more. They're handy.

Buen servicio
