Choosing the right strap for the job.

Polyester vs. Nylon
Polyester and nylon webbing are designed for different types of work. Polyester offers lower stretch, better load control, and stronger resistance to UV exposure and moisture, making it a reliable choice for lifting, rigging, and outdoor or long-duration use. Nylon has higher stretch and shock-absorbing properties, which helps reduce impact on dynamic loads. This makes nylon better suited for towing, recovery, and applications where sudden force or movement is expected.

Eye & Eye vs. Endless
Eye & Eye straps feature reinforced loops on both ends, allowing for quick and secure connections to hooks, shackles, and other hardware. They are widely used across lifting and rigging applications where straightforward attachment is needed. Endless straps form a continuous loop with no fixed ends, allowing them to be rotated to distribute wear evenly and used in multiple hitch configurations. This versatility makes endless straps a strong option for heavy lifting, frequent use, and applications that demand flexibility and longer service life.

Flat Eyes
Flat eyes lay straight against hooks and hardware, providing even load distribution across the eye. This helps reduce twisting and wear at the connection point, making flat eyes a dependable choice for standard lifting and rigging applications where consistent alignment and stability matter.

Twisted Eyes
Twisted eyes are turned 90 degrees to align more naturally with hooks and shackles when the strap is under load. This reduces bunching and side loading, allowing the strap to seat properly on the hardware. Twisted eyes are ideal when the lift requires a straighter pull or when hardware orientation makes flat eyes less effective.

Tapered Eyes
Tapered eyes are reduced in width at the loop, allowing for easier connection to smaller hooks and shackles without sacrificing the strength of the strap body. This design improves fit, reduces bulk at the attachment point, and helps the strap sit securely in tight or hardware-restricted setups.
