today we're going to review part number
three four four one four from Erickson
manufacturing what we have here is a six
foot retractable tie-down these two
excellent the tie-down is that it's two
inches wide and it's six foot long and
temperature of a strap itself feels kind
of like a seatbelt really the working
load limit on this is 1333 pounds but it
has a maximum load capacity of 4,000
pounds and also the hooks are covered in
a plastic material to do so you don't
Mar up anything and tying down say for
instance wrap around a handlebars or
motorcycle or something long to frame of

your vehicle or whatever you don't want
to get marred up this will help out a
lot and the big benefit about these
straps themselves are self storing so
you'll have an extra strap
flapping in the breeze or having to
worry about tying them down when you're
going down the road well we're going to
use this on is a stack of tires so we're
working on portrayal err it's actually
six foot five so what we'll do is
actually use a two because two comes in
a kit with that part number and we'll go
ahead use that to tie down our load of
tires and wheels

first off which one do with the ratchet
handle completely flat and then which
one do next is pushed down a red button
it releases it just to make sure then
you can go ahead and just pull out the
strap can you take your one end well
tight we'll put it to our load of tires
in the center again this could be
anything you need and we let's go ahead
and pull the rest of it out and make her
hook up to a tie-down point
all right I'm going to take up our slack
we use it like a conventional ratchet
push the button down once again to
unlatch it and then we'll just go ahead

and take up a slack let's go ahead and
put one on the other side equalize the
pressure and then we'll have our tires
safely tied down all right you can see
we've got our ratchet reeled up we don't
have any extra strap flying around in
your breeze okay there were a few simple
steps we're already done with our review
