Save Time Securing Your Payload with Keeper Kwikfeed Ratchet Tie Down Straps
When it comes to ratchet straps, there really isn’t a ton of room for improvement. I mean, you’ve got some hooks, a ratcheting mechanism, and a few lengths of strapping. However, the Keeper Kwikfeed ratchet straps puts a fresh take on a classic toolbox necessity.
Pros
- Easy to assemble
- Oversized ratcheting handle
- Large S-hook with locking gate
- Affordable price tag
- Reinforced stitching on edges
Cons
- No significant drawbacks
Keeper Kwikfeed Ratchet Straps: The Big Deal
Traditionally, ratchet straps require feeding the strap’s end through a small slot in the ratchet mechanism, which can be time-consuming and frustrating. The Keeper Kwikfeed ratchet straps eliminate this hassle thanks to the cutout in the forged steel barrel. This allows you to insert the strap at any point along its length. This innovation saves time and simplifies the entire process of securing a load. In many ways, I’m reminded of the Gear Armour Side Loading Ratchet Straps we reviewed a few years back.
Looking at the actual straps, it’s clear that they’re built with durability in mind. The Kwikfeed straps come in two length—12-foot x 1-inch, and 16-foot x 1.25-inch. The edges of the straps feature Keeper’s ExtremeEdge webbing, which makes them resistant to abrasion and prevents fraying over time. The coated s-hooks feature spring-loaded gates, ensuring a secure attachment that won’t work itself loose while you’re on the go.
The oversized ratcheting handle is one of my favorite features because it’s very easy to manipulate, even while wearing work gloves. I also love that Keeper listed the load ratings right on the strap for easy identification. There are also sewn-in tie loops just below the ratchet for added versatility. This additional tie loop is especially useful for making shorter connections while anchoring cargo in a truck or trailer. Moreover, these straps exceed DOT safety requirements for highway travel.
Keeper Kwikfeed Ratchet Straps Price
The Keeper Qwikfeed tie down straps are available in 12-foot and 16-foot lengths and retail as a pair for $15.98 and $22.98, respectively.
The Bottom Line
The Keeper Kwikfeed Ratchet Straps deliver a significant improvement over traditional ratchet straps by simplifying the loading process and providing enhanced security. Whether you’re a Professional hauler or a DIY enthusiast, these straps are an excellent addition to your toolkit.
