When I have the problem of getting the hook to stay in place (not often, but it does happen) I put the ratchet on the free end of the strap and let it dangle loose as a weight, then pull the hook down to the attachment point and the weight of the ratchet keeps enough tension on the strap to hold the hook in place.

Exactly what i do.

I thought that is what we all do? Maybe we’ve been doing it wrong?
