They have many uses ranging from cargo securement, towing a car from a sticky situation, tying your ATV or motorcycle to your truck or trailer, and to use when moving valuables.

1” x 6’ Retractable Ratchet Strap with Vinyl Coated S-Hooks and Push Button Release

Customer Review: “These things are great! I have a small lawn mowing business and I'm always strapping and unstrapping the mowers. At the end of the day you'd be surprised at how much time is saved by simply pushing the return button and the strap snaps back into its body. I always rolled up the straps, so I didn't end up with a big snarled up mess of straps. No more, seconds later the straps are back in the toolbox ready for the next day. What a time saver.” – Douglas 

2” x 18’ Rollup Ratchet Strap with Double J Hook

Gift Idea #2: Heavy-Duty Tarps

Tarps like our lumber tarps, steel tarps, and machinery tarps are a lifesaving gift, and will be a valuable gift for the trucker who’s on the road year-round.

When extreme weather hits, our tarps will stand the test and protect your valuables or cargo against any harsh elements you may encounter, like rain, snow, wind, sun, and even road debris.
