Looking for Tite-Tie tie down tool

Good call gubert !

As a one time forklift drive, I spent many hours helping "truckie's" tie down their tarps, and very soon picked it up..
Cheep
and much appreciated.

No need to buy gadgets, that will probably get lost or break

Cheers

the bottom video that is ;-)

The bottom video is not much help, good looking, but doesn't really show anything. Have you seen one used before?

What the girl, I use to have one of those, but there like a sports car. expensive to run and everyone wants to steal them ..LOL

The thingie no, I can tie a knot but they look easy to use and would come in handy.

There are links on the site to where they are sold just give them a call.


Cheers

Never thought about it like that but very true ! lol

Errrm, didja click the

Where to Buy button??

;-)))

Out of all the places listed, the only one around here is Landmark. So, with hopes raised, I dropped in there in my lunch hour today, only to find that the bloke says they don't have any. He wasn't too forthcoming with an offer to get any in for me either, so I went home and had my peanut butter roll and a cuppa kofi!

Hey Roachie,
if ya want one o' them there "do-fer"s an' can't find one in your locality, gimme a "hoy" and next time I go by Bunnings or Mitre10 or wherever (prob'ly in the next coupla days), I'll pick one up and send it to ya....
(ya can buy me a beer next time we meet up;-))

Catch ya later... Ed C

G'day Ed and thanks for the offer...... I've gotta go to the smoke on wednesday to see a client, so I'll see if I can get to Bunnings then....

Cheers

that is not true,if you put on a lock,that is on the top loop.

I have 2 sets of Hitchmasters at home in my cabinet. Although I do also have the instructions, I'm buggared if I can get em to sing the way the bloke at the shows does. I think the type and size of rope might be a factor?

Anyway, the humble truckies knot is not as common as it used to be. Many loads are now secured by 50mm rachet tie down straps and the young blokes don't know as much about tieing knots as the old blokes do.

I think this new gizmo is the bees knees and will try to find one for myself too. The fact that it can be used with virtually any size rope/twine, as well as webbing straps, makes it a winner in my book.

G'day Bill - yep - ropes ain't ropes - the HM bloke used cod ordinary budget rope (the white polymer stuff you see sold everywhere) - the recommended diameter for each size of tool is probably very important - I've used expensive braided yachties type ropes too but they seem to have greater drag when in use with this tool - my fuzzy old head has problems remembering the rigging techniques too - mainly because I don't use them enough - I have to refer to the instruction sheet - my kit will mainly be used for lifting the second spare back onto the Kaymar (parked under a tree) - and any other heavy lift that may come along - I've got quite a dicky back, and there's no way I'm risking it in the middle of an expensive (fuel $$$) bush trip :-o).

Roachie,

Stick with your hitchmasters mate. A little bit of thought and the correct size rope works a treat although I don't bother using mine any more , usuallyuse trucies knot or ratchet.

These new things look great in the demo but by the loks of it you wold forget how to wind the rope around them like you did with the hitch masters.
