PowerTye 1.5 inch x 6.5ft Ratchet Straps w/Carabiners, Red/Black Pair

I was not expecting such a high level of quality at this price point. These are the highest quality motorcycle ratchet straps ive ever seen. The ratcheting mechanism works outstanding... they never hang up or fail to advance a click when you pump the lever like the kind I am used to. These feel like a well built tool vs bargain bin quality. The stitching and material are beautiful quality, the stainless appears to be high quality. I also love the patriotism and stickers from PowerTye. Excellent purchase.

I try to buy American Made when I can, and with reviews like these, I couldn't pass them up. The price is reasonable, the quality is exceptional, and the appearance fit perfectly. I have these installed as semi-permanent tie downs on the fuel cell in my race car. It makes maintenance easier being able to quickly remove and install the fuel cell when needed. They look great and perform exactly as needed. They're durable, strong, and perfect for what I need. Powertye will definitely be my first consideration next time I'm in need of tie downs or tow straps. Great product!

We bought these straps because a friend had them and they are really nice. Easy to use and strong.

Professional quality, ideal for tying down a motorcycle truck or trailer.

A nice set of heavy duty ratchet straps. I highly recommend. Great value.

Worked great on a large Harley. Just be sure to crank them around 3 times to prevent them from slipping during transit. Also, recommend using the "PowerTye SHEEPTEX Synthetic Sheepskin Plush Soft-Tye Covers" with these to prevent any paint damage. Great results and showed up on time.

These are pretty nice straps, overall. They are thick and wide, and I do not doubt their load capacity. The ratchets work smoothly, and I like the 'idea' of carabiner hooks on the ends. In practice, however, they weren't much good for me! I have three motorcycles, and a Kendon three rail trailer. The Kendon trailer is designed such that in the front, the frame rails are used as tie-down points. There are other rails welded on as well, slightly smaller in diameter, which can also be used. But the carabiner hooks on these straps don't open wide enough to go around these steel tubes. In the rear, there are more traditional loops welded on the trailer, and here the carabiners are easily able to attach. So if you have a situation where you're attaching to a loop or attachment point that's not too thick, you'll probably be OK. But if you're planning to hook the carabiner to a frame rail like mine, you might have an issue. Yes, you can utilize the soft-tie feature to loop the strap around the trailer frame rails, which is what I did! But then, you don't have a soft-tie at the other end to go around your motorcycle attachment point. So then, you either have to attach the carabiners directly to your motorcycle, or use a soft-loop strap! And that leads me to the second issue. The second thing I noticed about these straps is that the ends of the spring-loaded carabiners, like all carabiners, are machined such that they 'hook' the other end. That is, when the carabiner is closed, the two ends each hook one another, preventing them from pulling apart. That's fine...but the ends of these carabiners are very sharp where this machining is done. On actual carabiners that rock climbers use, the ends are polished after machining, so there aren't any sharp edges...because you don't want the sharp edges of your equipment cutting the strands of your rope! But on these straps, the machined edges of the aluminum are very sharp. If you're using a soft-strap around the fork legs or handlebars of your bike, care must be taken not to slice into the strap as you feed it into the carabiner opening. Finally, and this is a complaint against all ratchet straps with a soft-tie feature...they don't go short enough for me to use on the rear of my motorcycles! To fully secure my bikes to my trailer, I need short straps for the rear. On these straps, the D-ring is sewn into the strap several feet from the end. There is simply too much distance between the d-ring and the end of the strap...even if you use the soft-tye feature, which means you connect the carabiner hook to the d-ring, looping the strap around your attachment point, the minimum length of the whole strap is still well over two feet long! So, if you need a really short strap, say to go from a footpeg to a loop on the middle of your trailer, this set isn't going to work for you. But like I said, that's a common problem with ratchet straps these days, since almost all of them incorporate a soft-tie feature like these do. The only 'quality' issue I found with these is the sharp edges on the machined ends of the carabiners...which is why I took off a star. Otherwise they're very well made. But they come with some inherent design flaws that make them ill-suited to my needs. If you're hauling bikes or ATVs where you need a longer strap and you have attachment points on your vehicle or trailer that will fit through the opening of a carabiner, then these straps will probably do nicely for you!

Best motorcycle straps available. I have several different sets in different colors.

I own a few brands of ratchet straps and these are easily the best!!
