May 22, 20179 yr Ever need a handle to lift,pour, etc. and made in usa too. https://add-a-handle.com/ Herb Edited November 22, 20178 yr by Ron Dudelston tags added
May 22, 20179 yr Author They seem a little spendy, but I sure could have used a couple on the job to hang the cords and skilsaw on when stacking roofs. I think if I I made one ,it would be from BB plywood and I bet it would cost me as much with the webbing as the factory made ones.. just saying. Herb

Pre-made Velcro straps are not cheap unless you by them in bulk for a price break. However, if you have a sewing machine, and can do it yourself it is a different story. In order to get full strength you need to have a loop of some sort (left side) and the hook(s) (right side) which needs to be attached to the end to stick the loop side. Just not worth the time, materials and the effort.

Velcro needs two parts to work; hook and loop. Neither sticks to itself. In order for a "Velcro" strap to work it needs to have both pieces combined as a unit. In this case, in order for the straps on the handle to work, it needs a strap like I posted above to be adjustable to whatever object that it is wrapped around.
May 26, 20179 yr keep thinking this out... let me know when the lights come on... Edited May 26, 20179 yr by Stick486

August 18, 20178 yr @Stick486 here is your solution at that place you do not like Harbor Freight. Hook & loop cable strap and cheap at 6.99 for 35 foot. I use this for cable ties on video cable for our turning club. Works well and lasts forever.
August 18, 20178 yr @Gerald...hadn't seen the 35' roll...I use both the 7" H&L Cable Ties and the 10" H&L Cable Ties to prevent tangle on portable tool cords when not in use as well as the desktop, TV and some short extension cords. I watch for them to be on sale and then 20% Off coupon. That and get free flashlite, batteries, screwdriver set, 25' tape measure, multi-meter, 5x7 tarp, scissors and other great free stuff.
