bought ryobi drill refurbished at factory outlet for $11 five years ago. Still works like new. I am not contractor though. Best money spend on tools so far.
I bought ratchet straps there. Same size. Who care what kind of 'buckle it has on it if you are just going to cut it off. $1.99 I would bet one strap was long enough to do your entire job. The point? If you are going to save money, then save money.
