Looking at it now. Strap is 1 inch by 16 feet. Looks decent although
the liners on the corner pads look pretty chintzy. Housing is plastic.
It is packaged so I could not try the ratchet mechanism.

Ok, thanks. The corners are not that critical to me, I have a bunch of
bessey's, but I'll bet the ones supplied are ok enough.

Thanks for your time Larry.


You will very quickly find the value in the corners that attach to the
strap.
If the Bessey ones don't, consider getting ones that do.



I only meant that I had the besseys, yes the corners are critical, but I
think if the bessey's fit, I am good. I had bought extras for my bessey
band clamp. If this single handed unit is that good, I'll get another at
a later time.

Banding can be a pain when you only have 2 hands.

Swingman said he got his when they were about 19... so that was a great
deal for them.
