Always pull the handle of the lever binder to tighten... Never push to tighten! If your hand slips off the handle can fling back and hit you. This is especially dangerous if using a pipe to tension and unloading the tension binder. Had a friend split his forehead wide open and knock himself out pushing on a tension binder. Never push!
He’s talking safety, but pushing the lever away, other than obvious, now you need to pop it to release and now all that tension is coming back in your direction, even if you stand off to the side. I used lever binders for years and never used it like this guys did. Now I only use the ratchet binders, cost more, but safer and easier.
The super truckers love commenting on these channels so they can tell us all how to use a binder and chain. The world could not exist without these heroes !🫡🫡🫡
