A really interesting ratchet strap test video

Really annoys we when I see folks using these to hold down a car....they wrap around the rear and will say it is 2 anchor points....huh?

I was visiting a buddy in AZ a while back. I had just dropped my Dart off so my trailer as still hooked to my truck. "Hey Doug....Mind if I borrow your truck & trailer?". He loaded a car up, threw it in Park and hopped in my truck....his reasoning was he was only going on surface streets so the speed was low....thing is he always goes 20 over the limit....While he proceeded to argue with me I just threw my straps on...Guy has a death wish...

I have always questioned the x-thing. I met the guys from Mac Tie Downs at a show once. They explained the theory behind it....to each his own.
