Ratchet straps ACTUALLY made in USA?

[AmericanMechanic]

Anyone aware of any? I've searched long and hard and all i find are places claiming to be American Made, but upon inquiry state that they use Chinese ratchets and sew the ******** in the US.

That's pretty disingenuous and I'm not going to patronize that.

Anyone know of a real US made ratchet strap, 1" and 2"?

Thanks!

Maybe Mac's? I don't know how "American" they actually are.

Are there even any of those ratchets made in the USA?

If not, you're not going to get the whole enchilada...

This is who I was going to suggest. Out of all my smaller straps, these are the best. I try and not lend them out or leave in the back of my truck.

It's a trick. They said they are using Chinese ratchets.

I dont think anyone makes the ratchets in the US. Like mentioned there are smaller companies that assemble North American made straps to the imported ratchets and hooks

Ancra is another cargo control company that has decent products. The red ratchet straps use a different material than Erickson or Kinedyne

based on this article Macs does their best to stay US made, though they admit at times they have to reach overseas: http://www.macscustomtiedowns.com/a...ium=social&utm_campaign=fb-madeinusa-20181126

Powertye straps are made in the USA.

Powertye straps are made in the USA.

Mac's straps are too, but are the actual ratcheting mechanisms and hooks?

 

[AmericanMechanic]

What i hear from ratchet strap manufacturers is "we're not aware of any american made ratchet" as if its an excuse to label their chinese made product "made in USA" with the American flag. I won't buy from any of them for that reason alone. I'm looking for European made, though its sad there's no US made option.

Truck and Tow told me no one in the U.S. makes the ratchet assemblies. The strapping and the assembly labor is the best one can do for U.S. made. "Made in the U.S. with domestic and imported parts" is what the label should read. Just like our cars.

I feel your pain, AmericanMechanic. Where is the device you're posting on here made?

You wont be disappointed with Macs product if you're question is about the quality.

The spec's for both of them say, "Type of Tension Device: Kinedyne 800 Ratchet"

Searching for "Kinedyne 800 Ratchet" - I find this Amazon listing that says:
