I was wonder how many Ratchet straps are to many.
I have 16 Straps. I have given 2 to my mother for if she needs them.
I have 11 Main ones I use.
I have 3x 2" x 27' I have 2 J hook and 1 square and planing on getting a second
I have 4x 1" x 14' S hooks (I keep at work)
I have 2x 1" x 6' Retractable straps
I have 2x 1 1/4" x 18' 1850lb Wll.
I have 5x cheap ones I got at ALDI's

Now I keep a 2" x 27' in my car for encase one of my tank straps brake. But I was thinking of swapping out for 2 1" x 15' S hooks ratcheting strap and 2 1" x 15' s hook Cam straps. or Buying a small kit at walmart with 2 1" x 10' ratchet straps and 2 1" x 10' cam straps and swapping with the 4 set of straps I keep at work and getting a set of 4 1" x 10'.( I could use them to strap a tarp in the bed of my truck)
I don't know why I would need so many Little 1" straps I plan on getting four 4" ratcheting straps for my trailer 2 J hooks and 2 square I can pair up with my four 2" straps or 3/8 and 1/2 chain I want to get so. I don't know if I am going Nutz or just a towing hoarder.

what did you guys think?

 

THE FIRST STEP TO RECOVERY IS ADMITTING YOU HAVE A PROBLEM

Holly crap man you have a lot of straps. but to be honest, I think you got a perfect handle on it.
Actually I'm jealous.
I only have 4 each 4" x 27' ratchet straps for my car hauler. I want to get more assorted straps for axle straps and wheel straps
I have an assortment of 2" straps for my pick up. but having two adult boys that drive, my straps tend to disappear.

A good selection of good quality straps are always a good thing. Always good to be over prepared.
My wife would argue that, but.... That's a hole other topic and thread

 

Well I look at it this way I could be like some people that go out and waste their money on lottery tickets, tobacco, alcohol , or women. Or I could invest in something I can actually use and will last as long as I take care if it. There's an old saying &quot; it is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it&quot;. <br />
<br /> I can always turn around and sell them. Don't ask me how many hitches I have
Plus this all started when I got one of those hitch racks and put some i bolts for anchor points and my bigger strap didn't work so I ended up putting a clevis through the bolt and used the bigger straps. I had two stacks of four tires on it.<br />
<br />
Oh and my obsession has to do with anything to do with trucks and towing. If it has to do with trucks I want to know about it. I am trying to learn the DOT regulations about trucking.

 

Boy it is a good thing you are not a girl and have to deal with Bra straps.

 

well if I had a girl on my arm right now I would be. As often as possible.

 

I view 1" ratchet straps as perishable tooling.
Lost count of how many I've gone through over the years.
Used to buy Keeper until the shipped production to china.
