Strap Solution Best Buy

Strap Solution Best Buy Jim Ruen, La Crescent, Minn.: “I read about the Strap Lizard in FARM SHOW (Vol. 49, No. 1; www.straplizard.com) and decided to try it. I’m always trying to tie off strap ends, but too often they flap in the breeze behind the trailer anyway. The Strap Lizard looked like a possible solution to a messy and potentially dangerous problem. “I ordered two at $14.99 each. When they arrived, I appreciated how easy the straps were to install. Remove four small bolts, separate the shell halves, and thread the strap end into the multiple slots in the holder centered in one half. The company does a nice job with videos, which is good, as the instruction guide is less than helpful. “The holder is self-tightening; simply tug the strap. The fold-out handle winds up the excess strap, and the clip attaches the Strap Lizard to the load. To release the strap, simply unwind it using the handle. “I put them to use right away on the receiver hitch rack on the back of my ATV. Because I only needed to reach a few feet, I had lots of excess strap. The Strap Lizard quickly eliminated the problem. “The company offers a $2 discount on each when buying 12 or more, which is good, as I definitely want one on every ratchet strap I have. They also offer a larger version for straps up to 2 in. wide, as well as Lizard Leggings, which are ratchet-strap anti-scuffing pads. They slip over straps to protect them from loads with sharp edges. They’re $2.49 each.”
