{"replyTo":"","text":"I only did it on tall fragile loads, styrofoam, PVC ect. If it's anything else, you can get flat straps on ridged loads much tighter so long as you tighten them down good, they won't flap.","replyToPid":0}
{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"prevents flapping like the person above me said.. a half twist is ok.. a full twist will get you pulled in for a lvl 1.. except steel on steel do not twist.. cables or chains.. unless you have a block system set up.. to increase capacity.."}
