I've purchased maybe two dozen or so of these straps (both 2 and 3 inch) over a few years. The strap themselves are well made, but the handle design is not. Each handle has 2 'cotter' pins. We've had 3 of them break now, requiring a 'fix'. In addition, the release handle has too much slop in it and we have one every month or so slide out of its slot to where it has to be brought in for adjustment to keep it in service. We've had a few of them taken out of service because they simply can't be adjusted to where they stay in place. I'm disappointed that these are actually some of the better straps on the market- but still have so much room for improvement. If I can get 2+ years out of a strap I'm happy, but only about half last that long. (usage: about every other weekday on average).

Love the large ratchet handles, they are big and heavy but work great and gives me lots of leverage to secure my loads on my 53' low boy trailer

Giving 3 stars because the ratchet handle is humongous. Way to big, makes it hard to operate. If you have very large equipment this may be for you. You better have a lot of room to operate the ractchet handle. I think this should only be used on a truck with a very large flat bed.
