Rope Ratchet 3/8" Tie Down Pulley Hanger, Heavy Duty Locking Mechanism, Tightener for Shade Sails, Hammocks, Canopy Anchoring, Garden Hoisting, Outdoor Use, 250 lbs Capacity - No Rope Included

Perfect for my application. I use it behind or after the 3/8” rope that I have through a block & tackle after it lifts my “too heavy” eBike (80 lbs.) off the ground.Then I can adjust my rear derailleur and my rear brake without having my wife hold it in the air, whilst I fine tune the settings. 😄This is a way to safely “tie-off” that rope with a no-slip hold and safe easing off the load, when the work is done.I’d recommend this highly, but make sure your rope or cord is the matching size the ratchet is made for. Read the product info before ordering, ensure you have the correct size. Save yourself the hassle.

I didn't know it when I bought 2 of these from Amazon that these where the exact one's I wanted. I have a set of 2 that I've bought about 20 years ago when I was still working as a auto tech. They are still working light brand new. Working on a project that I needed 2 extra. These are great. I was upset with myself that I didn't read that these didn't come with the hook and rope. no problem I forgave myself. I have 1/4 poly rope on a reel so I'm able to make use of then. I looked on the store site and they offer complete so I ordered 2 more complete with rope and hook. I can always use the extra. I didn't return because I didn't read everything my bad. This is a very good product that will last for many years. Thank you very much.

I purchased this rope ratchet together with 50' of their 3/8" PP rope. To avoid fraying, the rope was terminated by melting the ends. As soon as I tried the ratchet I noticed it did not work because the melted end of the rope could not pass through the mechanism. Cutting the end did not help either because the frayed end was falling apart and it would jam the mechanism. You need some way of keeping the frayed end from spreading, either by melting it more carefully and shaping the end with a knife, or by using a narrow strip of duct tape. The best way is to start with a wider strip and then cut the rope and tape leaving just a narrow strip of tape at the end of the rope, otherwise it would not take the turn inside the ratchet. In conclusion, if go on a trip with this great gadget, have a heat source, a knife and some duct tape with you, just in case.

This is a great item for anyone who has a boat cover installed. I am sure there are other uses but it serves me well. I did purchase another one for a second boat.

Work great straightening up large wind blown trees

they are simple to use but bulky and heavy. I knew that when I ordered them.

These are awesome they're fast uses just regular old 3/8 line. These are quick we'll tie down a load I put some eye bolts in the sides of my trailer and I take the line and I do whatever I want with it and then I just zip it tight with this ratchet tie down I hardly ever use the tow strap type of ratchet tie downs anymore This is far less complicated.

We were missing the rope in the item so that’s why I gave it a 3 but the remaining part was okay.
