Storing Ratchet Straps for Quick Deployment

Warning: This is a REALLY trivial "homemade tool."

Showing up to rig a load with a tangle of ratchet straps makes you no friends. For the longest time, I would wrap up each strap and secure it with 3M Painter's tape. This works fairly well. The tape gently kept each strap coiled up yet a light tug and the tape would fall away. Sometimes the tape would fall away even without that light tug. Not good. Of course, the tape goes in the trash.

I just figured out a better way that is free and reusable.
