Quickie Tie-Down and KLDT now offer a new series of ratcheting rope tie-downs! These tie-downs are simple and easy to use, just like the Original series, but with great new features! Simply pull the loose end of rope to tighten as with the Original Series, then use the built-in ratchet handle or recessed socket drive on either side of the ratchet for additional tension to get those loads extra secure! To release, press Release tab and rotate ratchet handle past the ratcheting position and into release position to disengage tie-down. With the name Quickie Tie-Down comes a quality you can rely on and an easy, intuitive function. The 1/4" Ratcheting Rope Tie-down comes with two rubber coated specially formed S hooks and 12ft rope pre-installed. With a working load limit of 225 lbs, this is the strongest tie-down available that uses 1/4" diameter rope.
