	HOKINETY	$31.50	Search on Amazon	China

	VEVOR	$19.00	Search on Amazon	China
2 in x 10 ft, rated 3,033 lb, $38 for two with vinyl-coated S hooks. The best value in the lineup: it beat its break rating at 3,260 lb and lasted 55.38 seconds on the belt sander, fourth-best, though the ratchet action is not smooth.
	KJE	$24.00	Search on Amazon	China
2 in x 10 ft, rated 3,300 lb, $96 for four with clipped S hooks, soft loops, and a bag. Smooth ratchet and a low-stretch strap that held 692 lb, fourth-best, but the leverage gain from unwinding the spool was the smallest here and the webbing wore through in 24.06 seconds.
	SmartStraps	$21.50	Search on Amazon	Thailand
10 ft strap that retracts like a tape measure, rated 3,000 lb, $43 for two. The lightest strap at 2.68 lb, with webbing only 32 mm wide, and the weakest: it failed at 2,220 lb, and the whole ratchet assembly bent.

2 in x 10 ft, rated 3,300 lb, $55 for two with vinyl-coated S hooks. Broke at 3,827 lb, comfortably above its rating and fifth-best, but its ratchet gave the worst leverage of the twelve on a full spool at 0.51 to 1.

2 in x 10 ft, rated 3,000 lb, $33 for two with soft loops and a storage bag. The cheapest strap per piece and last overall: it broke at 2,374 lb, well short of its rating, and held only 652 lb in the tension test.
