TorkStrap

You’ve probably experienced this scenario: You’re hauling a heavy load, and the ratchet straps shift and move around so much that you don’t feel like they’re holding up your cargo. If the straps come loose, you could have serious problems on your hands.

TorkStrap is an incredibly safe and reliable solution for cargo transport that is easy to use. With TorkStrap’s power band technology providing dynamic tension, you can drive knowing that your load is secure and that your cargo won’t come loose even if it shifts or sinks during transport.

LadderM8rix Professional

The Ladderm8rix Professional is the ultimate ladder safety accessory. It can be used on most exterior surfaces, including grass, oily concrete, tarmac, decking, snow and even solid ice. This is due to the unique pin base that helps it engage with the surface. The top of the Ladderm8rix Professional has a rubber grip with a shoulder to rest the ladder against.

Simple Strap Tie Down

Simple Strap is a great way to secure pretty much anything. It’s quick and easy! Just wrap it around what you want to secure (e.g. rebar, lumber, pipes) and keep wrapping it until it feels tight enough. Then cut off the excess with a utility knife or scissors, and your item will be ready for whatever adventure comes next.
