I will not tolerate this vile and odious slander. Ratchet straps are far superior in most applications.
Only if you have a truck
amused hemp ship’s rope noises
Quick thing. I am an avid hiker. I know a lot of knots. If there is one knot I had to tell someone to go learn it’s the “Trucker’s Hitch.”
How the hell are you going to make that statement and not even provide a link?!
What you linked will work as a truckers hitch, but that’s not a trucker’s hitch.
How come there are two links in this thread and none of them are this one?
What makes the trucker’s hitch particularly useful?
It’s a slip knot that you can use like a ratchet strap.
How is Paracord better for cable management?
Doesn’t abrade cable like zip ties, can reuse unlike most zip ties. Especially with fatter coils like outdoor extension cord or air compressor hose, it makes sense to have a length of paracord on the end to keep it neat and hang it. Plus you can use the paracord sleeve as a jacket for smaller cables. The real star of cable management are hook and loop wraps tbh.
For context I work on trash trucks and salt trucks. What are you doing that’s making zip ties cut into wires? I need to make sure that the wire harness that runs along the body above and next to the drive shaft that will spin everything the trucks run over. If the harness is loose the cable will get caught in the debris.
If you’re working in a server room with lots of wires I can see the utility of those fabric fasteners. I don’t get the luxury of the wires only moving when I touch them.
550 stretches. Use amsteel.
Maybe if I’ve got a racing sailboat and have so much money I can’t abide the weight of steel standing rigging.
