trailer tiedowns work ok but not much padding behind the buckles to protect a boat and no rathcet zeebo rod saver tie downs these are great just like others have mentioned super easy to just pull the lever down and its quick and simple happy with nice and easy to use they work good and the price is right very good i like them a lot five stars took a little while to get them adjusted but once they were it is easy on and off i found it useless as the grip is unwieldly and slips great straps exactly what i needed
