Title: Good Ratchet
Product review: I'm a big fan of the way ratchets can very securely tie down a load. I'm not a big fan of the way the fabric straps can fold or twist. The ProGrip 314700 is not immune from ratchet problems. However, by keeping the strap flat and somewhat taught and ratcheting slowly, I've had great success with this ratchet. I secured a heavy, rear tine tiller in the cargo area of my Mazda 5 micro-minivan with the hatch open. The ProGrip held the tiller in place securely. There was no chance it was going to roll or tumble out the back. Anyone having trouble with this (or any other ratchet) would do well search for videos showing how to use a ratchet. The ProGrip is a good strap and should last a long time. I give it 4 stars, instead of 5, because it can easily jam if one is not careful and the instructions are lacking.
