Substitute for Ratchet Straps for Close-Together Points - Lemmy.World

I love ratchet straps, but I can’t seem to find any extra-short ones. I have two anchor points about 6-8 inches apart that have a slight obstruction between them (so not a straight line). Ideally I would find some ratchets with a compact hook profile, and extra short portion of strap between the hook and ratchet. But also perhaps some kind of hook on a threaded rod and a coupling system that allows for slight bends? It needs to be a removable solution, but it doesn’t have to be quick or easy to remove. In fact a lockable or tool-neccesary solution would be slightly ideal. Any ideas?

A Trucker’s Hitch may be useful. It’s a knot that’s used to tighten loads.

I immediately thought of this.
