Tie downs / Ratchet Straps

[cruiseroutfit]

My last set got stolen (by my bro ) so I am in the market for new ones...

I stopped by several places today... wasn't happy with the results...

Henderson - doesn't carry the J-hook type
Six-States - Only had the 2" (10000 lb) ones ~$25 each
Home Depot - $14, 2", 10000 lb, but they look kind've cheap
Pep Boys - $27 ea, 2", 10000 lb,

I want some 3" (15000 lb) J-hook type... Anyone have a clue who stocks them for ~$25?

I can check CalRanch out here in Toolie. They have some stuff, not sure what the cost is though. Will report back tomorrow.

Can't remember the exact name, but it is a semi supply store in south salt lake. It has all kinds of straps for really good prices. If you look up semi supply in the yellow pages you should find it.

I bought my last ones a Walmart. They were 10k lb I believe, but they had the J-hooks and worked real well. I have since gone with tow truck chains and binders and will never go back to straps. (Nor will I ever have to buy new chains )

I will second the never going back to straps. I got my chains at HF 3/8 x14ft
$15.00 each. Then I went over to six states and bought a binder. Harbor also has the binders. I went through to many straps from rubbing on the trailer. The chains hold a lot better. Thelast time I was over to Sams club they had the 2 inch 10,000lb straps for $12.00 each. Six states will also have the 3 inch you where asking for.

Did you try industrial supply?

I bought my last set at State Trailer Supply. Also I think I remember seeing some at the IFA.

Good suggestions, I will check thos places out...

On a side note, I would love to get a set of the big hook chains that wreckers use for rear axles... Anyone find a source of cheap ones? I have a couple binders kicking around, mabey I should go chain.

 

[footin fool]

mabey I should go chain.

Yes, Yes you should Price is almost the same and it is alot more secure.

I bought mine at Rocky Mountain Wrecker Sales. Just West of I-15, and about 3400 S

I like mine.

If you've got the binders already, go hit Harbor Freight for some chain.... You cant afford Rocky Mountains throw hooks, but I do love mine...
Get the chains, maybe you'll stumble across some hooks later.

Ive ran my HF chains and binders for 3 years now and will never go back to a strap.... Most stuff from HF sucks but the chains and binders I bought have held up extremely well and If i rember correctly they were in the same price neighborhood as the 3" straps I kept breaking.....

Rocky Mountains have about 10" of chain, and grab hooks with frame attachment hook, and are DOT certified. All of which, you're paying a premium for. That sight is awsome! The first hooks shown, for $16 and change are what I run... I'd snag four of them, a couple HF chains, and two binders and you're in business!

I didn't pay that much. Seems like mine were less than $40.00/pair. I think mine are the 15". I know I could have got one a little longer/bigger for more money, but didn't see the need.

I think the semi supply place might be Haf(f)er's. Its on 300 west, and somewhere between 13 s and 17 s. Also a Freightliner store there somewhere too. Best of luck Kurt.
