Band clamp / truck tie down

Puckdropper · 2009-03-31T19:19:09+00:00

I've been thinking... a band clamp is essentially a ratcheting truck tie down with blocks to hold the corners, right? So is there anything special to the band clamp that would preclude the use of a tie down as a band clamp? (Besides the blocks, but they're easily made.)Puckdropper

My shop band clamps ARE ratchet straps...

I hook the ends together in a spot that doesn't interfere with the work, pull it tight, and ratchet in the pressure.
