These are fairly standard tie down straps. They are very useful to have and can be very versatile. So far we’ve only used them for containing / compressing a bedding bundle when going camping (my wife isn’t a fan of sleeping bags).
They seem nice and solid. I can’t comment on the stated strength as I’ve only used them for a lightweight purpose so far. These often have a tapered end to make it easier to feed the strap through the buckle, but these ones are squared; it wasn’t a major problem though. Is it stands, I have no major qualms with them.
This pair of 2.5m tie down straps is selling for 5.99 at the time of this review. That seems like an okay price to me, but the packs with more in are definitely better value for money.
Typical example of an application is to keep folding garden chairs held firmly folded for handling and storage in the off season. Or furling a caravan or tent awning. Finally securing a folded and rolled tent or gazebo to get it back into a storage bag or box.
Nice straps with an all-metal buckle and thick 25mm webbing. When engaged the clamp will resist a good yank on the strap trying to pull it back through the buckle. Easy to open though by pressing the sprung jaw open.
Note these don’t have a ratchet function so tightening is just by pulling the webbing through the buckle. Construction is probably too light to use them to secure loads onto roof bars or a carrier for a long journey, unless they are used in conjunction with another clamping method.
I got these straps to address a long-standing problem I had with my guest Futon Mattress. I roll it up and put it away when not in use and it is very heavy (~20KG/44lb) and unwieldy when rolled up. A real struggle to move about.
The 25mm/1″ wide straps are very strong and the stitching is good.
The product description says ‘ratchet’ but it doesn’t have a ratchet, it’s a galvanised steel friction buckle. That said, it’s easy enough to apply a decent tension and the ‘sprung toothed grip face’ of the buckle design ensures a really good grip that doesn’t slip loose. You can also pull hard to get things tight and the sprung buckle just latches onto the webbing strap as soon as you release the tension.
With the 2.4m/8ft length, I was able to roll up the Futon mattress nice and tight, loop the strap over twice in a crossover pattern and still have reach to lock in the strap tail and cinch the mattress even tighter. An excellent result which now means the rolled-up mattress now resembles a firm cylinder that’s much easier to move about and stow (see pics).
The strap ends are heat cut/sealed and squared off, which can make them a bit fiddly to feed into the buckle — a diagonal cut would have made them easier to use, but that’s easy enough to rectify with a hot knife…
The 2-pack is reasonable value but the 4-pack is even better value for several quid more
Pros :
Strong
Good stitching
Good length at 2.4m/8ft
Good buckle design
Reasonable value, even better value for 4-pack
Cons:
Not ratchet as described
Squared strap ends can be fiddly to feed into buckle
Strong, easy to thread straps. Buckle fastening/ loop through metal price is of quality and they match expectation. Doing wonders at holding our rotating garden parasol in place against the gusts of wind.
I used these straps to hold together some heavy sandbags against my boxing bag. They are really simple to use with you just needing to wrap them round, pull tight and clasp them in. They feel really secure and I would expect the durablility they have given they are made of high strength polyester fibre. I can’t see these failing, ever, and if they do I’ll update this review.
Of course, my experience is only based on my use of the straps, they are really able to be used for anything and different uses may stress the bands in varying ways – so be aware of this when picking these up.
Pros:
High Load Capacity:
Each strap has a load capacity of 250kg, making them strong and reliable for securing heavy loads such as motorcycles, cars, and trailers.
Adjustable Length:
The straps are 25mm wide and 2.5m long, providing ample length for a variety of applications and the ability to adjust the tension as needed.
Durable Materials:
Made from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand heavy use and harsh conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Claw Buckle:
Equipped with a claw buckle that provides a secure grip and easy tension adjustment, ensuring that the load stays firmly in place.
Versatile Use:
Suitable for multiple uses, including securing items on motorcycles, cars, trailers, and even for household applications like moving furniture or securing garden equipment.
Compact and Lightweight:
The straps are compact and lightweight, making them easy to store and transport when not in use.
Easy to Use:
Simple design and easy-to-use claw buckle mechanism allow for quick and secure fastening, even for those who are not experienced with tie-down straps.
Cost-Effective:
Provides a cost-effective solution for securing heavy loads, reducing the need for more expensive or complex securing systems.
Cons:
Limited Length:
At 2.5m, the length might be insufficient for some larger items or more complex securing needs, potentially requiring additional straps.
Potential for Wear:
With heavy use, the straps and buckles might show signs of wear and tear, which could reduce their effectiveness over time.
Claw Buckle Operation:
While the claw buckle is secure, some users might find it less convenient or more difficult to operate compared to ratchet-style buckles.
Not for Ultra-Heavy Loads:
While 250kg is a substantial capacity, these straps might not be suitable for ultra-heavy loads or industrial applications requiring higher load capacities.
Color Limitation:
Available in black, which might not be preferred by all users who may want different colors for coding or visibility purposes.
Environmental Factors:
Continuous exposure to harsh weather conditions, such as extreme sun or rain, could degrade the materials over time, reducing the straps’ lifespan.
Manual Effort:
Adjusting the tension manually might require more effort compared to automatic or ratchet straps, which could be a drawback for some users.
Compatibility:
While versatile, the straps might not be compatible with all types of tie-down points or hooks, potentially limiting their use in certain scenarios.
Overall, the IAZZCO 2 x 250KG Tie Down Straps offer a robust and versatile solution for securing heavy loads with ease. However, potential users should consider the length, manual operation, and specific application needs to ensure these straps meet their requirements.
