I purchased these tie-down straps with a full rack and canoe kit. The tiedows were very pricey, but they claimed they cam with a protective tube over the ropes to prevent paint scratches.
Let me save you some trouble- Don't bother with these. Get some normal tie-down straps or even some good rope, and wrap them in a towel or cloth. The plastic rope covers scratched the paint on my car very badly, and didn't really offer any other benefit.
The one good feature about these straps is the ratcheting system- When you pull the rope tighter, a ratchet locks it into place until the ratchet lever is pulled. This isn't to say it replaces a good cargo strap, since the rope does tend to come loose, but with some good knot tying, you can get it pretty solid.
Overall, the product quality is as expected, but in the end it was a waste.
I rate things as follows:
1 star - Far below expectations / Completely unsatisfactory
2 star - Below expectations / Unsatisfactory
3 star - Met expectations / Satisfactory
4 star - Exceeded expectations / Very satisfactory
5 star - Far exceeded expectations / Beyond satisfactory

These are a very nice and easy to use tiedown. For being made in China and comparing to tiedown straps with heavier duty hooks, these are expensive for some nylon rope and and a rolling ratchet. Look at hardware stores for buckle and cinch type tiedown and compare the price for versatility.

I bought this as a replacement for the original tie down I got with my Yakima j-rack. This tie down is much better than the item it replaced!
