Maybe someone that can afford it has a closet of every conceivable strap on for every possible situation. I hate people like that. Makes me afraid.

I've avoided next Door. Every quote from it I hear here, starts with the equivalent of Be Very Afraid.

I don't see anything out there to be afraid of.

Yea, it attracts the paranoids, but I've gotten good tips there on local businesses and contractors. Definitely too much petty bickering, though.

90% of these (for cars and light trucks) could be strapped down with a 4 pack of good quality 1" ratchet straps (something like: https://www.amazon.com/Badass-Moto-Heavy-Ratchet-Straps/dp/B016QR3C8M or similar with at least a 1000# WLL ).
$40 isn't out of reach for most anyone who has a car.
We have a set similar to that in each of our vehicles just in case something needs to be strapped down.

You can buy 2” straps at most places for $10 each or less.

I'm sure there would be a tool in the closet to make short work of that body part. lol

Yes you can (I have eight or ten of them), but most cars and light trucks don't have anchor points big enough (or heavy enough) to hook the ends of 2" straps and make any real difference over using a thousand pound rated 1in strap.
Also, most cars and light trucks (the group of vehicles I specifically referred to) do not have the payload capacity to carry more (weightwise) than what can be tied down with 4 1000# WLL straps.

I wish they would make straps with a hole you can stick a 3/8" ratchet in to undo them. Or at least a BIG screwdriver. I spray them with lubricant, but it's not enough.
