Re: Soft tie hack
You know what they say about great minds wandering in the same circle. 
I just figured that was something everyone knew about or practiced....guess not. I did that because I got tired of always looking for those short straps, they're kinda like socks in the dryer....they disappeared. Good to see you brought it up with a demo.

Re: Soft tie hack
JD, you didn't say you are so handsome. And you were so polite too. Who would have guessed. 
Great idea by the way, hope I only have to use it for good circumstances.

Re: Soft tie hack
Same here. Those soft ties always ended up somewhere else. I realized that I always used the soft tie with that set of cam lock straps on my lift so it was just natural to attach them.John Schmidt wrote:You know what they say about great minds wandering in the same circle.
