    so over Christmas my brother-in-law took all my trailer straps. I needed new ones anyway, so looked around today. think I found some great ones! I had the blue Summit old style before and they have been good for 15 years straps still great condition, the ratchets getting slightly cranky.

    these pro straps by Mac's appear to much better. 10,000 lbs, paint friendly sleeves and material, color options, longer tire straps (wide tires), and ratchet directly on the hook for those short distances in enclosed trailer.

    Several of us have been using Mac's straps for a while too. Great customer service and extremely well made. We use the E-track versions with over the tire straps on some and the hook on ratchet for others.

    The new ratchets are better design and can be disassembled for service and lube if needed. You can also order custom colors for preference or to identify front/rear straps. Custom length straps can also be ordered.

    Thanks for posting Rob. Enjoy your new straps for the next 15 years!

    I second the comments. I have been using the Mac's straps for years and they are excellent. The guys at Mac's are also super helpful if you have a problem or question. Can't say enough about them.

    Excellent products and great customer service. They will also make custom length/width straps on order as well. Don't take a chance on cheaper knockoff straps that claim to be as good.

    I have been using these for a long time. Work great, very reliable, and don't damage your wheels.

    Ha, I used for taking Challenge to track and they were awesome. Couple local FCA people borrowed them to take a Fiat somewhere on my flat trailer and 3 of the straps broke. :)

    Damn, I didn't realize the Fix-It-Again-Tony curse applied to straps. That's powerful Ju Ju there.

    I have a full set of Mac straps at home in the Mac carry bag. I don't need them any more so I'll inventory, take pics, and place them in the for sale section in a week or so. I used them once to transport my CS back in '12 and the padded wheel straps worked great.
