Rhino USA Heavy Duty Ratchet Straps Kit (4-Pack)

stabile Gurte und eine vernünftige Ratsche

My wife and I bought eBikes within the last year and decided to travel for a biking getaway. We bought a bike carrier that could handle the weight of our bikes. It had good reviews from multiple sites so we felt confident…until it came and I built it. The rack was very sturdy but the plastic straps that hold the bikes to the rack had me concerned. The rack arrived days before our trip so it was too late to return so I threw my bag of Rhino straps in the SUV and off we went. My fears were realized as one of the plastic straps failed on our way up. I used some of the Rhino velcro to secure the wheel. By the time we arrived at our destination two more straps failed. After we biked the trails I mounted the bikes on the rack and used 3 Rhino ratcheting straps to secure the bikes. Perfect combination and it saved our bikes from a catastrophic accident and/or stranding us far from home! The straps confidently secured the bikes to the carrier and I couldnt be happier with them. 10 Stars!!!

These are excellent, heavy duty straps and they come with a perfect carrying bag.

I purchased these straps for tying down an 850lbs motorcycle in a toy hauler. Thanks to the soft ties, they work with the tie down points.
These straps easily cinch down the mc and once ratcheted, they stay put. Even over the bumpiest road conditions, they prevent shifting, and they do not loosen. These are very heavy duty, a must have item to prevent damage to your cargo and transport mechanism.

I’ve purchased a number of Rhino products over the last few years and without exception they have been very well made with quality materials used in their construction. That being said, I was hesitant about purchasing their ratcheting straps because of the cost over what I could pick other straps up for.

I decided to make the purchase after some research and frustration with a brand new set of similar ratcheting straps from Harbor Freight. My Rhino straps arrived yesterday and I can tell you that in a side by side comparison the Rhino straps are far superior in every way.

Although the straps appear close to the same in photos; it is a different story in hand. You can immediately feel the difference in the quality of the Rhino straps; the strap itself is thicker, which correlates to the higher work load and breaking strength. The differences in the straps continues down to the quality of the stitching.

However, the real difference between the two sets is in the construction and use of the ratchet. All four ratchets on the Harbor Freight set bound up and failed to release the strap, brand new, out of the package. I had to use lubricant and rotate them with a screwdriver to get the mechanism to loosen up and start to work.

In contrast, the ratcheting mechanism on the Rhino straps worked as it should and did so with ease. The quality and operation of the ratchet really demonstrated the difference in manufacturing. The handle and pull lever on the Rhino ratchet was also very well made and easy to use.

Well, from quality we come to value; to be fair, the Harbor Freight set was $19.99, less with their 20% off coupon. The Rhino set (4-Pack) is $59.97; making them more expensive by a wide margin. You can also find really nice offerings at a lower cost from other manufacturers here on Amazon; such as Power Tye and Lockdown.

The Rhino straps are the most expensive that I have come across; are they worth it? Yes, and no. In my opinion, they are the best you can buy. The four soft loops and storage bag included with the set increases the value; however, the price point is still a bit high. If you throw in the super easy to activate lifetime warranty then you increase the value again. What does it cover though and what kind of hoops do you have to jump through for a replacement?

All in all I would say these are a solid value at $49.99 without tax and including Prime shipping. As it worked out, buying a set cost me just under $65.00 with tax and Prime shipping.

That being said, the quality is evident in these straps. For example, I bought my bike at a dealership and they threw in a new set of tie downs. After the salesperson helped load the bike I broke out my cam lock Rhino straps with integrated soft loops; after using them his comment was, “These are the nicest straps I’ve ever seen.”

If you’re just hauling stuff and need to secure it pick up some straps here on Amazon or hit Harbor Freight; if you do that, bring a can of WD40. If you have an expensive bike or other item(s) to secure then it makes sense to invest in the best straps you can buy so click that Buy It Now button.
