Default 8ft tie down straps/ Where to get??

I need to find the 8ft straps for my car, I only need the strap and hook only, not the ratchet part as I have those from my other straps that I already have. I have looked at Northern Tool, Lowes, Home Depot and even Harbor Freight and no one has them at all. Any ideas as Jegs does not seem to stock just the strap part, either on-line or a chain would be good for me as I will need these in the next 3 weeks. The straps I have are 20 and 30 ft long which is way to much excess to mess with on the vette. Any help would be appreciated!!!


Thanks

Why can't you just get a 20 ft one and cut off the excess?

Because I use them to strap other things down on my trailer and my dad uses them alot, so it is easier if I just but the 8ft straps only.

Summit Racing has a good 8' ratchet strap with a 10,000 lb rating (3300 lb working load limit).

Although they are sold as a unit, the price for a pair is $25.95 for the "twisted-hook" set SUM-G7955 and $23.95 for a pair with the "flat-hook" ends .SUM-G7950

You could pay as much for individual long end straps. I searched a number of websites I looked at when I was buying ratchet straps for my trailer and could not find long end straps by themselves that were 8' long.

When I bought my straps, I wound up buying a pair of the Summit Racing straps and another pair from a commercial truck equipment site and the straps were the same!!

So for $25, you can get the long ends you need and have a pair of ratchets and hooks as a spare.
