Ratchet Buckle Instructions

Operating our Ratchet Buckles is a very straightforward process that provides a tightly held down cargo in no time. To tension the strap, pull the webbing through the reel bars to eliminate any slack. Operate the handle back and forth until the webbing is properly tensioned. Reel bars must have at least two wraps of webbing to ensure no slippage. In the case of our Wrench Drive Ratchet Buckles, they require the use of a socket or wrench.

Releasing the tensioned strap is even easier. Pull the handle pawl back and rotate the handle over the center to a fully open position. Then slide the webbing out.
