I bought these tie-downs at Home Depot while I was moving, but I never liked the other set of these I have because they were cheap, and I was going to get my $$ back.

I looked at the back last night to see about returning them, but I'm not setting foot in the place now!  Huh

No joke, your eyes are seeing it just as I did, no photoshop.  Barf!

I'm sent this one to Jay Leno.

Look close and read.

I don't use that type of strap for anything other than a cooler, gas can, etc.

I've heard of to many quads falling off trailers at 60-70 mph to trust the cheapest straps I can find. Some say I over do it strapping my quads down, but you won't find one of mine on the road looking like a wad of tin foil all wadded up in a ball.

I only use ANCRA tie-downs and they are not even ratchet ones either, only the pull tight ones, the ANCRAS are on the pricey side but well worth it...

I try  to use 3 tie downs on a quad , can never be to safe with 12k worth of toys in the back... I found truck stops ( Flying J , Petro) have the best and longest lasting Ratchet tie downs. They are made to be abused.
