A ratchet strap can be very useful for securing light weight items like bound electronics. For delicate pieces of jewelry which needs to be transported, or in the jewelry business for securing display items, straps of this type can be employed. These materials are made from strong but lightweight materials like nylon webbing. The ratchet mechanism is set down so that a smaller load is easier to operate on. The compact size allows for accessibility in tight spaces. These can be used by different cultures to protect and secure compact materials for damage during transportation.
