Super Straps. The concept behind Kubinec Strapping Kits is simple: You wrap polyester straps around a load and tighten them with a ratcheting tensioner. If you haul large loads of pretty much anything — lumber, ladders, scaffolding — this product could be useful. The straps can also be used to stiffen concrete forms during a pour. EZ Kit starter sets include 250 feet of 3/4-inch strapping, 100 buckles, and a tensioner. They cost $199 apiece. Extra rolls of strapping go for about $20.
