That simple cargo strap winder was well worth making!

Got my ratchet straps rolled up in seconds after using them today.

Before I'd just chuck them somewhere to deal with later and then next time they had become some kind of entangled knot of great annoyance. Or spend ages winding them by hand.

I have dubbed it "Jonas Winder" 😀

It also has since passed the firehose winding test, although you need a strong drill that can go slow enough (such as this one) for that.

Made a thing I saw some Youtuber use. Its as useful as it looked, and easy to make.

Couple bits cut off a rusty rod, cleaned up and welded together as letter "h" and voila, a webbing winder for use with a battery drill.

Instead of a tangled mess in a bucket, I've got my cargo straps ready for next use in record time. Should also work with the firehose, but I haven't tried that yet.

If you're making one, two tips:

1. The short leg should be terminating before the long leg reaches the bottom so it can be used against a flat surface. About 5-10mm shorter.

2. The legs should be slightly narrower at the bottom than at the top, to make it easy pulling the tool out of a tight roll when done.
