Those look like they need a nice hot bath. Now I really miss my place on PEI. First time I had a lobster roll, I was on the Cape, in Rock Harbor. ? ???
Is this the place? It's iconic. About 30 minutes away from me.

These are Cape lobsters from a local boat. $6.95/#.

I’m sure it was. It was 2001 and I was hungry as heck - had cycled from Provincetown and was headed to Hyannis, so I don’t recall exactly what it looked like but it was at the end of the road, at the harbour. As authentic as one could imagine with folks as nice as rice working there. I asked what they recommended and the server said, “Lobsta Roll” - I was hooked (pun intended).

On PEI, the guy who kept an eye on my cottage over the winter and cut my grass in the summer was a lobsterman. $2.50 CAD a piece - market lobsters, not canners. I still cry myself to sleep at night after selling it and it’s been a year and a bit. ?

Hahahaha!

The tire just got pushed up and the chain slipped out of it. Protected my frame though from getting hit!

Looks pretty nice ratchet strap. Details?
They seem nice with a thick webbing.

PowerTye 2 inch x 10 Foot Retractable Heavy-Duty Ratchet Tie-Downs $59.95

The company says quite a bit about their products being US made but I think these are probably imported. They came with a couple of "free" soft loops that were clearly marked as made in the US.

The self-retracting part does work well since they're brand new. I thought it might be slower than the much thinner 1" ones, but it has a good spring. =)

For the price, I didn't realize I could get stainless steel ratchet straps (non-retractable), which I'll possible get next summer. For use on brush, the non-retractable would be better as you can toss just the strap over without a hook being attached.

LOL, the full write up on these new straps is here:

one of the 2-year old 1" straps froze up, so I picked up a pair of 2" ones

Thanks.

Might get a set for a test since it is "No Import Fees Deposit & $25.52 Shipping to Finland."

I think the total is below customs fee minimum also.

I'd think you could find some nice European options, especially marine grade.

The 1" ones have been protected from the elements, but the retracting spring is really long, and thus, thin.

Then also consider the end - s-hook, s-hook with spring latch, carabiner, or transport-type hook.

Let us know what you get and how you like it (with pics, of course). =D

Here's what that spring looks like on another brand:
