Looking at their 2" (3,333 lb WLL) and 4" Flat Hook straps for general cargo and vehicles. Are these high-tensile polyester straps durable against wear? Worth buying?

I bought a set of their 2" flat hooks for hauling vehicles and some 4" ones for general pallet freight last season. They are absolutely worth buying. The high-tensile polyester webbing is thick and handles abrasion against sharp edges way better than cheap truck stop brands. They don’t stretch out or lose tension during long hauls, even in heavy rain. For securing cars or heavy machinery, these heavy duty ratchet tie down straps https://flatbedequipment.com/collections/ratchet-straps are excellent. The ratchet mechanisms are smooth and don't bind up. Highly recommend them.

Appreciate the solid review! Do the 4" straps fit standard winches smoothly, or do you prefer using them with separate ratchet mechanisms?

They slide into standard winches perfectly. No binding at all. For regular cargo, winches are great, but for vehicles, use the ratchets.
