Designed for ease of use, this 1 in X 12 ft retractable ratchet tie down assembly can hold a variety of items securely. They are convenient to use and can be installed quickly as there is no need to fuss with extra webbing, tying-off the ends, or removing the webbing from the ratchet. The steel S-hooks have a PE coating to protect your load from marring and scratches and provides long term corrosion resistance to the environment. The retractable ratchet opens and retracts much like a tape measure, pulling out to desired length and ratchet until tight. To store, simply release tie down assembly from the load and webbing will retract back into the ratchet housing.
