Cool new ratchet strap set

I found a neat set of ratcheting tie down straps at Wal Mart today. The cool part is they come in a case that you can use to wind them up, as many as all four at the same time. Neat idea. They are rated at 500lbs. working load, 1500lbs. break strength. The case fits neatly behind the rear seats on my '04 Crew Cab, not sure if they would fit in an '05. I picked them up for $25. If you hate winding up and putting away straps, it's well worth it. They work just as advertized. Here are some pics...

That's a cool idea!

I'm one of those anal guys that rolls them up by hand and then rubber bands it and stashes it in the box behind the wheel...
