Most consumers won't be familiar with ratchet straps with carabiners, but professionals who need to secure tarpaulins or pitch tents are undoubtedly familiar with these handy products. Ratchet straps are made of sturdy, elastic materials. They are similar to the black and gray bungee cords that used to be found on virtually every bicycle. Like bungee cords, rubber ratchet straps are impervious to water or dirt and are durable. They are typically attached with hooks. These can be S-hooks, but for a secure connection, carabiners are better. A carabiner has a spring-loaded tab that won't come loose.
Tension rubbers with carabiner hook
While the rubber of tension rubbers with snap hooks isn't sensitive to the conditions in which these elastic straps are used, the snap hooks themselves are. These are always made of steel. To protect this from rust, you can use the galvanized version of the snap hook.
It's suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, but only in sheltered environments where moisture is minimal. For carabiners that frequently get wet, the stainless steel version is better, as it won't rust.

Tie-down straps with snap hooks are available in a wide range of lengths. The shortest tie-down straps are 30 cm long. The longest tie-down straps available in the webshop are 210 cm long. Galvanized steel and stainless steel snap hooks are available for every length. The price difference between these options is significant, as tie-down straps with stainless steel snap hooks are almost twice as expensive as the galvanized version.
