Straps! Can't live without them! Bungee cords are good, too.
But they can be a royal PAIN! Tangled just when you need them in a hurry, and always a mess.
I bought some new lightweight straps for my new (to me) pickup, and I wanted to find a way to end the strap madness. A tool bag from my local Big Box was part of the answer. The velcro ties on the end of each strap were another part of the answer. They work well to keep rolled straps rolled up.
But what a pain when you want to feed the straps through the ratchet! Especially in cold weather wearing gloves.
There had to be a way to keep them neat and get rid of those velcro ties!
Well, here it is. It's childishly simple. I socked them! Child's ankle socks. In this case, for the 4-6 age range. For larger straps... well, you can figure that out.
This works GREAT!
And there they are, snugly (and NEATLY!) nestled in their comfy tool bag. No more muss, no more fuss.
Ain't they cute?
