Pull the tail, and it will come untied. May have to jerk on it some. It will not come loose and is very adjustable, just tie the knot where you need it. Use it all the time, esp when headache racking long material.

Sort of a tool here, truck-related at least. I ordered some new tie-down straps for general use after breaking some of the old ones. My yellow HF straps have started failing by having the release lever snap off which renders them useless. Decided to get something better than I've had in the past and got some PowerTye cam buckle straps. (I have some ratchet straps but like cam buckles because they're easier/quicker to use.) These PowerTye units are REALLY nice! Made in the U.S. and far superior to what I've been using.

L to R: HF cheapy, NASCAR branded unit that might be from Costco, and the PowerTye.

Do you know how to tie a hay haulers knot? I'm also not a fan of ratchet straps. Piece of braided nylon and a hay haulers knot will get and stay tighter than these will. That sounds awful, am in no way wanting to be an ass, know it all. Just trying to pass along good info.

I'm guessing "hay haulers" knot has a different name over here in these parts.

I'm a ratchet strap kinda guy myself.

Pfft, I'm happy if I can remember how to tie my shoes.

Would that happen to be the same as a truckers hitch?

Elaborate for the rest of us pleez.

could be, I can't remember the proper name. Take a picture when it gets daylight


These things are awesome.
