Disclosure

This page lists every relationship that could color what we write. Guides repeat the relevant items in their first screen, next to the links they apply to.

Amazon Associates

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Links to Amazon on this site are affiliate links: if you buy through one, Amazon pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. Those links carry rel="sponsored". We do not display Amazon prices, star ratings or review counts because Amazon only allows those to be shown live from its systems; check the product page for current figures.

AUGO

AUGO, a maker of ratchet straps, soft loops and tie-downs, pays a bonus commission on its products through Amazon's Creator Connections program. That is why AUGO straps are featured prominently here. Every page that features AUGO says so in its first screen, labels the featured placement, states what each AUGO strap is not suited for, and compares it on published specifications against other brands. We do not invent test results for AUGO or anyone else.

Photos of AUGO products on this site are AUGO's own images, used with the brand's permission and credited "AUGO (used with permission)". Other photos come from Wikimedia Commons under free licenses and are credited to their photographers.

Other brand bonus programs

Other strap brands may at times pay a bonus commission through the same Amazon program. When a brand featured in a guide does, the guide says so in its disclosure line, and this page is updated. As of October 28, 2026 the only such brand is AUGO.

How reviews are written

Reviews are spec-based: we read the manufacturer's published specifications, explain what the working load limit and break strength mean, say who the strap fits and who it does not, and compare it with alternatives. We do not perform destructive testing, we do not claim to have used a product unless we say exactly how, and the label on your own strap always governs. See how we research.

What we do not do

We do not sell placement or badges, do not invent reviews or ratings, and do not let a bonus program decide what a strap is good for.
