RE: Cam Buckle vs Rachet style help
Peakrut I sell straps and in my experiance DO NOT trust a cam buckle it will only let you down.

RE: Cam Buckle vs Rachet style help
Tony, I thought you were referring to the type like on my Nontypical.. slides through and you rotate it 180 degrees and it slams shut...definately not a TIE DOWN Strap ... those will not hold very well.. they are good for tieing down quads in the back a truck..bout it.

RE: Cam Buckle vs Rachet style help
I hate ratchet straps. The only cam type straps I use are the ones with my Lone Wolf sticks and Assault, and they are the push lever type.

RE: Cam Buckle vs Rachet style help
Ok Thanks for all your help I will stick with the ratchet style straps. The lone wolf strap lever looks about the same as the ones I have in my pic on page 1.
But safety is key here so I appreciate the help. T |

ORIGINAL: RobinAim Low IMO, the only safe strap is the one that comes with the stand andnone needed past that if hung right. Sure it's a PITA to put it up......but when I consider the alternative it ain't so bad. |

RE: Cam Buckle vs Rachet style help
Ican guarantee you wouldn't think like that if you weighed 325lbs.;) I use the strap (or chain) that comes with the stand, then I use a heavy duty 2in ratchet strap at the top of the stand (right above the factory strap/chain) and a 1in ratchet strap at the bottom of the stand. That sucker ain't moving when I go to step onto it!:) Sure it's a PITA to put it up......but when I consider the alternative it ain't so bad. All things manmadecan and do fail and I don't want to be the one in a million who hits the busted skull lottery. |
RE: Cam Buckle vs Rachet style help
we use those on our stands

RE: Cam Buckle vs Rachet style help
For hang ons I only use ratchet straps. Yes, the cam style are easier, but I know those ratchet straps are locked in and not going anywhere. I'm not a big fan of heights, and less of a fan of falling from them so I'm pretty anal when it comes to that stuff.
