Default My review of HF's ratcheting load binders

Harbor Freight put their 05511 ratcheting load binders on sale for $20.
They take 3/8" chains and are rated for 9200 pounds. I ended up using the
10% off coupon they sent me and leaving the store with 4 of them. They're
heavy and appear well made. All the parts were properly formed (ie. nothing
crooked, bent, or visibly offsize). The threads are beefy and smooth. The
ratcheting mechanism appears strong. The paint job is decent. Overall I'm
satisfied.

Time will tell how well they hold up. I'm not worried about them breaking
under load because I don't rely on just one of them.
