Watch US Cargo Control explain the differences between ratchet straps and cam buckle straps, how to tighten the tie down straps, and how to release them. When threading a ratchet strap or cam strap, you'll notice the tightening method is different - a ratchet tie down strap is tighter and stronger with a ratcheting mechanism, but a cam buckle tie down is easier to use by simply pulling the loose strap end until it’s tight.
We recommend using ratchet straps for heavy-duty or oversized loads (think, truck drivers to use on flatbeds or enclosed trailers), and cam straps for lighter or smaller tie down jobs (to secure a kayak on a truck bed, recreational vehicles, or for fragile cargo). You shouldn't use ratchet straps on a smaller load as it can be overkill, when a cam buckle strap provides sufficient strength and holding power.
