Everything about this product is WRONG
I don't mean this video to sound ungrateful at all, but I do mean it to let companies know that I will NOT review their products just because they send them to me. I only promote products and companies that I would spend, or have spent my own money on. In fact, I use many products in my videos that I went out and paid full price for, even though a different manufacturer was offering to give me, or even pay me to use theirs. The simple fact is that I won't promote a product just because I'm being paid to or because I got something for free.
When it comes to these particular binders... they just randomly showed up one day, without any sort of note, email, phone call, or any type of correspondence. What's even worse is that I have said in the comments over and over again countless times that I have tried these and think they are an absolute joke, yet someone still though that it would be a good idea to send them to me. I have been hauling equipment and using chain binders for 20 years, so there's a reason I use what I use, and do things the way that I do. So I decided to make this video in hopes of stopping other manufacturers or other people from wasting their time and money.

Thanks Casey! I like your no bull shit reviews. Sometimes it is best to stick with the "kiss" saying , "Keep It Simple Stupid" the older tried and true binders are still the best! I love that most companies hate you. 😉. Keep up the good work and thank you for always keeping it real! 👍💯
@@selfloadbinder sure
@@selfloadbinderhere’s some fun facts for you.. I am a KZhead vlogger. I vlog and make videos about the things that go on in my life, and share them with my monthly audience of over one million different individual people, that make up an average of 4.5 million monthly views. So if I were to get sued by a manufacturer over a video I’ve made…. I will absolutely make a series of videos documenting my experience through the process, and will be including every detail, including the name of the company and it’s representatives that are suing me, so that those one million different people can follow along on my journey. I’ve also heard that you’ve been calling my competitors in this area to try and dig up dirt on me, and I heard that you told them you’re going to file a lawsuit against me. You see, even though we are “competitors”, we are also friends and we all work together. So anything you say to them, will go straight to me. Here’s the simple facts of the matter, I think your product is garbage and I would never buy it. I never said you sent it to me, even though you literally put it in a box yourselves and sent it straight to me from your facility, at no cost to me. I also never said your name in the video, or description, and even blacked it out on the binders themselves so it wouldn’t be shown. Everything I said in the video was 100% true, so you have absolutely no legal leg to stand on, and I absolutely will counter sue for all of my legal costs, as well as defamation of character for you trying to paint me as a slanderous individual if I were to be sued for such a thing. The binders are already in the box and will be shipped out on their way back to you on Friday so you can give the purchaser their money back. So the best thing you can do is walk away from this so that this video runs it’s course and fades out like all do. Or, alternatively…. You can choose to keep this going and I will continue to do my job as a vlogger documenting what’s going on in my life and putting it out there for millions to see. Your choice 🤷🏻♂️
@@selfloadbinderI hope you do sue give us something funny to watch you getting destroyed like your product 😂
@@CaseyLaDelleI was actually going to get a set of those I just haul my cars time to time I liked the locks and how you couldn't just couldn't unhook it like a regular binder for a little security, but after this allegedly shady business they seem to be pulling on you I think I'll look elsewhere
@@MustangGuy6501 allegedly shady business…. You know, for legal purposes and such 🤷🏻♂️
-company sends stuff -Casey ignores it -company waits -company looses patience -company angry Casey didn't review stuff -Casey reviews stuff -company is sorry this video made me feel like I was watching a LockPickingLawyer video :))
Yes, and Master Lock is the victim once again, lol

And Casey didn’t even name n shame but they’re still regretting sending unwanted sh.t!! 😂😂
casey & scotty give the most honest reviews
@@mikel2887 scotty is a step below wranglerstar.
Some people might think that you‘re screwing yourself over by doing these kind of reviews. But you‘re actually building up credibility and integrity for actual good and genuine companies that might want to work with you in the future.
your way is to become a reviewer but that what he doesnt want to be. He want to tow stuff and recovery's. If someone contact him with a product they he will use he will try it tell us how he feel about that. Not everyone want to be a puppet
@albertastrength1026yeah but I charged for that!
I was looking for reviews to buy something. Most of the "reviews" were probably just somebody paid to advertise the various products - even if the products were competitors. Four different brands had five things listed under "Pros". Under the "Cons" it was "none" for all of them. Not helpful.
Yep. A lot of my favorite KZheadrs have evolved into just making commercials for various products that are obviously inferior. They have lost all credibility. Thx.
@richpeggyfranks490 but they have to feed their family!
I can see how those lockingtabs can become a liability, when someone is either too lazy to use them or forgets them in a hurry
They look a little sharp if a person didn't have gloves on.
I've never seen Casey before but after this video all I can say is "wow, an honest man". Best of luck to you Casey and keep on truckin'.
I went to high school with Casey. That is truly how he is. Him and his family are good people
We had a safety guy who thought these were the best thing since sliced bread at work we bought them for all of our roll backs. Drivers left the impacts on the beds fell off somewhere on the road, adapters for the sockets broken, fried batteries etc. etc. drivers hated them long story short they are all in the scrap bin a year later and we are back to the good ole ratchet binders.
Surprised they almost lasted a year. Son of a truck driver and drove a couple years myself. If a tool doesn't work you won't find it in or on the truck.
YEP.
It's been a while since I got stuck as the safety guy, on top of my other responsibilities. That's a thankless job, neither the workers nor the bean counters want to listen to you when nothing is going wrong, but you can be sure that everyone will be looking at you if anything ever did. I did different work, but we had some of the same safety issues. So I can imagine a safety guy promoting something that all of the workers ended up thinking was a waste of time and money, but that even after the last one was thrown away that he still considered time and money well spent. I'm not saying that this was true in your case, it's just a hypothetical. For example, if a worksite has a lax attitude about safety, and the guys only use half the chains that they should be using to hold down their loads, maybe getting them to use a new toy will get them to use the right number of chains, and that can lead to better worker safety practices in the long run. And one lawsuit avoided will pay for a ton of those crappy binders.
Too many companies are trying to fix things that aren't broken.
Everyone’s trying to fix one thing, their bank account.
Well said ,just like going on the tool truck sometimes, and seeing how they re invented the wrenches that I have had for 30 years, lol,great video,never have seen, Sergei Dratchev use these Binders before
@@jeffclark2725 You mean like frightfully expensive "thin" wrenches, similar to the El Cheapo Craftsman wrenches we used to grind the open ends on? Wrenches we used to pick up at swap meets, garage and yard sales?
oh, financially these things ARE broken. They last 10-20 years, there's no repeat sales in them. Sell stuff that needs replacing every few months and you get repeat customers, especially if the competition makes their in China and theirs last only a few weeks.
@@tetedur377 Yes sir , exactly
I've got 25 years & 5 million miles doing oversize equipment....I would never or have any inclination to use those speed binders. Great video. Keep it simple and use what works.
Then we would still be using snap binders
Thank you for this honest review. I took a look at a set once because a guy lost his impact. There was no way to unlock the set he had or tighten them with out the drill. I thought how dumb to rely on that.
Congrats on upsetting the internet. Need more people like that. Simple is better no matter how you slice it.
Agreed 🎉
People are always trying to build a better mouse trap
Occam's Razor
I would argue against that, to a point. Power locks, and power windows? I will take them all day over a truck with manual locks and manual windows. I bought an 88 GMC 1500 with manual locks and windows...It sucked. I am 5'8", had to lean way the fuck over to unlock the passenger door, and good fucking luck rolling up or down the passenger window while driving. I'll also take captain seats over a bench seat all day, every day. I do not like having to hold onto the wheel with a death grip if I am trying to have fun on a twisty road. On the other hand? Yeah, I want actual switches and knobs for the controls of my vehicle. I would prefer a manually adjustable seat, and god damn would it be nice if transfer cases used levers again. Course, I'll take a cordless impact over a breaker bar and a ratchet all day, and if I need drive 50+ staples? I would take a cordless stapler over an Arrow T50. Simple has it place, when you want something dead reliable. But technology has its place, when it is durable _enough_ and offers a significant improvement in day to day use, be it speed, comfort, wear and tear on your body, etc. These binders look like shit. Way too many steps, and I am confused as how the manufacturer thinks an unprotected zerk fitting is going to survive.

@@lm5226 So how, can Casey return something , SELF Binders claimed they never sent him?
@@51WCDodge if he liked them or gave a good review for money this mystery person that bought them wouldn't exist they'd thank him for the positive review on the product they sent him but notice how they defend the fact they sent them but don't defend anything negative he said about them they knew the product is junk
So, SELF Load Binder company has jumped in here to try and defend themselves, and it’s not going well 😂. For starters, they admit that the name SELF is just an acronym, which to me is deceptive advertising, especially when you put the words “load binder” right after it…. Especially since in my opinion it is not Safe, Easy, Light, or Fast. In fact, to me it is the opposite of all of those. Second, they are apparently upset that I’m saying they sent these to me when they did not. But then they also said in another comment that they drop shipped them to me directly from their facility, in a box with all the manufacturers packing material and literature, with their return address on the package, and not one single bit of correspondence saying who it was from. So how am I supposed to know that they didn’t send them to me, when they quite literally sent them to me… But what makes it even better, is that I never even said they sent them to me in the first place, I simply said that the binders were sent to me, while never mentioning their name, and even blacking it out on the binders themselves so that it wouldn’t be shown. So great job @self load binders…. The vast majority of people watching this had no idea what brand these binders were…. Until you decided to tell everyone 😂
By the way, I just watched a video of a guy using these things and stopping on the side of the highway to check his load. It took him one minute and fifteen seconds to tighten a loose binder, not counting the time to get the impact gun out and ready, or put it away afterwards. A simple ratchet binder would have taken five seconds. Can anyone explain to me how that’s safer??
I completely agree with you Casey. Sometimes the simplest things work the best and quickest.
Those good old orange binders tried and true. They can suck a little in the bitter cold, but I doubt the other binder would be any better, especially when the battery dies on the impact.
Looks like someone tried to reinvent the proverbial wheel and failed miserably. If it ain't broke don't fix it!
@@CaseyLaDelle IT IS NOT!
As a tow truck operator i agree 👍🏾 every second counts when loading , i had close calls even with police redirecting traffic . Cool video casey 😆👍🏾
I worked in the shipping department for Komatsu Wheel Loaders in South Carolina -we shipped the WA270, WA320,WA380, WA480 and the WA500. I have never never seen one of these speed loaders used when the truck drivers were securing their loads . Most of the loaders had to be tied down with at least 8 chains; using the "speed binders" seems like it would be a waste of time!
watching Heavy haul trucking, he always used the old binders and proper chains to secure his loads, they do not mess around,
Casey you're a real one for not just taking money from every company that comes your way. You have a ton of integrity.

So if you decide to keep these and want help with them, we could probably get them to talk to you & help you out. (One tip they might give you: keep your battery charged and try fully depressing the button on your impact wrench.)
@@selfloadbinder I have zero interest in you or your product.
Man I love this guy's videos. I never feel like I'm getting BS'ed and Casey seems like a really good genuine guy. Thanks for another great video!
This is awesome. Love it. Could watch you doing videos of all the crap people send you and you explaining why they’re crap. Keep up the good videos. I’ll always watch.
Ratchet binders were becoming the norm in the early 80's & they are a big improvement over what we were using, commonly called bear traps. Having used both styles I believe the ratchet binder is the only way to go. They are easy to use & stay closed. If you feel the need to over-tighten you can still use a short pipe for extra leverage. Go with what works for you Casey.
Omg I found a set of "bear trap" binders the other day in a old metal milk crate at a garage sale I stopped at .... guy was asking 65 bucks a piece for them I kinda chuckled maybe they have collectable value for the right guy I don't know but they cracked me up as I hadn't seen a set in years ...
I still have several old boomers there definitely not the most safety forward design
@@Doubie. Back in the mid 1970's when I drove trucks for Halliburton in the oil patch in Wyoming, we used boomers to secure the heavy iron fittings on the Frack trucks. We called them arm breakers! And, if weren't paying attention or being careful, that's what they were!
@@JeeperJimbo I still have the old drive line tube the guy used for a cheater bar on those old binders, Lol
Grew up helping my father on a farm. All we had were a couple of the over center binders. Never had problems with them coming loose. Lock them down, a couple of wraps of chain around them, and all set. Still see a lot of them used, as well as the tugboat design.
Casey, if these were that great others would be using them. I've never seen these on any heavy hauling rig while driving on the highway. Your honesty is why I like watching your channel
Love the raw honesty in your videos because of that My son and I are now going to get my husband the harbor, freight, Badland, off-road floor, jack for Father’s Day because he and I both love and value your honesty thanks Casey. ✌🏼
Please stop stressing about what others think or say.... you do you and we'll keep enjoying what you're sharing with us!!!! love your content!!!!
This is exactly the reason I follow you. No bs just plain and simple. These may sayers are just like truck drivers , no two can agree on anything. As I 40 plus year woman driver I can talk negative with professional wisdom. Keep on keeping it real. Oh and I was using ratchet binders in mid to late 90s doing heavy haul. They are easier to use and much safer then using a regular binder with a bar. I can’t tell you how many drivers I have seen over the years have that cheater bar come back and hit them in face hurting the driver. Anyway keep up the good work. I don’t ever see you answering or paying attention to commebts but still thought I would put mine out here. Keep up the great work
He comments back to a couple of people on almost every video. You can't expect him to reply to everyone, or he would be wasting all of his time!
Never saw someone using those speed binder locks. I’ve seen them use speed binders but never knew they had locks. Definitely seems inconvenient to have to carry an impact gun to use them then lock them and definitely agree with those zerk fittings being able to break or get damaged being a PIA cause you’d have to drill them out and install new ones if they break inside.
I love your honesty. I fast forward through most of the other KZheadr "commercials" because it's obvious they don't believe in them and they're reading a script. Keep doing your thing because there are people out there watching your content who appreciate how and what you do.
There is a simple reason why you have over 190,000 subscribers, which is honesty, integrity, and also entertaining. Never change your chosen standards. I enjoy watching you from Aus.
Very well said! I hope all the companies that have been sending you their merchandise was listening. Keep up the good work!!
Nicely done! I hope your plan works. Lol if they send more I’d love to see another video where you use a crescent wrench.
Thanks for the clip at the end, I thought something was missing. I wondered how the binder got so far away😂.
I was a driver for over 43 years. I used the same binders and yes people tride to get me to switch to the EASY ones. No thank you I with you Case.. keep with what works.. stay honest... great job..
I love that you are a no BS person, and you stand by your principles. "Don't let 'em put you down, don't let 'em push you around Don't let 'em ever change your point of view."

I’m so glad you made this video. I agree 100%. 8 years in hauling and I still have only seen these speed binders on the forestry mulching KZhead channel. We all know who that is. Every trucker I see is still using hand binders. Tells me everything I need to know.
Thank you, Casey. I’ve been arguing against the “speed” binder for years. Sadly, too many newbie flatbed drivers are just plain lazy and do not realize the extra effort and maintenance of these money wasters.

Good for you Casey. We agree with you on this matter. Wish more companies were as honest as you. Like to see more videos about towing and recovery vehicles.
That’s been getting tough to do now that most of my customers are commercial companies that don’t want to be put on KZhead
@@CaseyLaDelle I can understand that. You also don't have a summer tourist vehicle 'trap' like Matt has at Sand Hollow. Loved the rescue you and Grumpy did from the river gravel. Always enjoy your snow/mud recoveries and forest tidy-ups, and the towing that customers will allow you to screen. We don't for a moment think they're 'always breaking down' - far from it, they just chose a capable no-nonsense recovery firm to get their vehicle back asap.
@@CaseyLaDelle E grifter
@@CaseyLaDelle I'm amazed the self moving company hasn't said something. even when you save them money by fixing their oil leak in the parking lot.
Honestly at its finest. Simple has always worked for me. Yours are an upgrade to what I started with. Ya had to have that bar to tighten them.
Awesome video as always. Just have to love the people who think they know everything even though they have never done it themselves. I uswd to haul heavy equipment and love the binders you use. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Also live the way you put people in there place without name calling, really hard not to do that. Keep up the great work and ignore the idiots.
I kove the way you just tell the truth about products, if you like them you say why. If you dont like them you also say why- your honesty is refreshing.
Keep up the good work, and be careful in your adventures. Your videos are educational, and it doesn't matter what people say. It's your channel, and it's your place to tell someone to kick rocks or be deleted from the page. A friend from Wilmington, Ohio.
And this is why I watch you! Honest, genuine, trustworthy and NO CLICK BAIT!
Very well said! You forgot to mention one very important factor to the rest of us - initial purchase price. I've got to imagine the cost is significantly higher than an import ratchet binder. One quick tip from a 35 year lowbedder to help your speed... hook the link of the binder(not the hook) in the keyhole on the deck. You now have only 2 connections to make instead of 3. Although the loose end of your chain may not ride very well on that steel deck. I have a recessed keyhole row down the center of my Landoll to trap the loose chain end, and it will stay on my apitong deck, unlike steel. it may not seem like a big deal, but if you have 18 binders on multiple pieces of equipment, it adds up. Keep up the good work. I REALLY enjoyed this video.
You're 100 percent right! Every wrecking company that I follow on KZhead uses the same type of binder that you use! Had an old mechanic say if it ain't broke don't fix it!
One of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much. Your unabashed honesty. Keep up the good work.
Simple is always best. I did 30 years of plant & machinery transport and I agree with you. Never lost anything. 😊
Wow, what a contraption! Nuff' said. I thought you were going to talk about one of those ratchet-pull type binders with a single rubberized handle, I've seen a few guys using them and they seem to work.
I worked my whole career on heavy equipment. Lots of different companies moving stuff. I helped with many a move (mechanic not driver). I never saw a speed binder until it popped up on youtube. All the truckers I have ever worked will are all old school. Must be a reason!
Exactly!
@@CaseyLaDelle stroke my KZhead ego 👎
You made complete sense.they didn't think what happens if something strips on the speed binders and you can't get it to release
have been curious about them for a long time! and I think you judge things well because you are honest and now I know! thanks Casey
This is exactly why I watch your content. Thanks for being real.
Casey I enjoy your videos because you are completely honest and you don't promote anything you don't believe in and haven't tested out to make sure. In my opinion you know more about stuff like that with 20 years experience and the standard ones are faster, safer and more sturdy to be able to handle that kind of work.
Thank you for the honesty that's few and far between😊
I always look forward to your product review videos because I know you won’t sugar cost you opinion. Keep on keepin on
A lot of KZheadrs like you said do it for that company's money but I like how you're more straight up and honest and knows what's work best for you/you aren't a sellout. I will say, you should start doing more reverse reviews like this one though lol. Keep up the great videos! I just started watching these and I'm enjoying them.
I used to use the simple version myself long ago. (We had to haul around a Bobcat now and then to job sites.). That was over 20 years ago, possibly before any of the new ones came out. But I would have never spent as much time even trying to use that waste of money after looking at the instructions to use it. Personally I would just reply to the emails with: “Thank you ever so much for the paperweights.”
Another great review on a worthless tool! Nothing beats a good, ole fashioned ratchet binder! As long as you keep them lubed up, they work great! This coming from someone who has 25 years experience hauling steel coils and hauling flat bed freight! Keep up the great and honest videos Casey!
Steel coils? Eyes to the side, suicide. Have to be top of the tiedown game for those coils.
good for you Casey. thats why we watch you and trust you! you will always give us your honest opinion., very refreshing these days!!!
Just came across your channel, thanks for the video. I always thought the “Speed binders” were gimicky. Also for pointing out how annoying it is when people do mail time to try to get more free stuff. Thanks for not being fake.
I admit I'm one of those that asked you about the binders that can tighten down with an impact. My apologies , Casey .
I have no problem at all with people asking, that’s totally fine. What got really annoying was people calling and TELLING me what I need to be using, while I’m in the middle of a job, then telling me how rude I am for telling them I have to go instead of listening to them talk for 30 minutes..
Just in case you see this, what's your take on the ratchet binders with a bevel gear and hex tacked on? Seems like it's trying to be the best of both worlds, and that tends to be amazing or shit, with little middle ground

I appreciate that you do have so few reviews, that way when you review something I know it is something you truly believe is a good product.

I've always got time for what you have to say Casey. Your morals and honesty are a breath of fresh air.
I can't understand the people who correct you unkindly. keep it up! your topics are always great! I really enjoy watching your videos!
We’ve been using binders with a folding handle and selector lever for loosen/tighten/ free wheel. Love them. Fast, easy, reliable and proven tech
I love it when people come up with a solution to a problem that doesn't exist and wonder why people don't flock to it. I mean marketing SAID they would flock to it...
I still love your no bullshit honesty. keep doing what you are doing it works. thanks for filming
I sometime haul equipment needing chains and binders, watching this video makes me feel better using the chains and binders and I love it
Stand your ground Sir ! You know from the blood, sweat and years that you have done this what works and what dont ! The haters are gonna hate no matter what you do or say so why in the end make them happy ! You do one heck of a job for being by yourself most of the time. I say Thank You Sir for sharing your adventures and knowledge with everyone ! ✌️❤️🙏
There's a reason the standard ratchet binder has been used for years. "If it was actually better, this is what we'd be using" sums it up.
Classic case of inventing a problem so they can sell the expensive and over complicated solution.
Used both the style you have been using for years, and snap binders. Only boo boo I had was a 450 Case dozer almost slide off of a diamond plate bed on a sharp sloped turn onto hiway 99 in Livingston before the bypass was built. Taught to tie it down that way, only used 2 tie downs, got taught better bout 5 years later at a different job. Took bout 20 more to learn, on my own, that rubber tired equipment, mostly backhoes, I could snap tie without a cheater by leaving buckets up bout six inches, then lowering them In the position I wanted with engine off. Them tires raise up and make the chains tight as a bow string! Not recommended unless you practice it a few times! It seemed to evenly tension chains all around. Good stuff, pleasure watching your videos!
Well done...as a former truck driver, the first 2 binders were our commonly used and best binders...
Thanks Casey for showing these and the down side. I flatbed and use ratchet binders and snap binders on a regular basis. Was thinking about trying these but couldn't figure the benefits or the pitfalls. Didn't want the expense if it wasn't worth it. So thanks again. Made my decision process more informed.
Great video. Although you have to go get the tool, im reasonably sure youre already carry the impact wrench and battery. (Its probably not something 'else' to carry.) Observation, not complaint or to annoy.
but what if the battery for or impact dies? it generally happens at the worst time
Yes, I have an impact in my toolbox, but I sure as fuck don’t want to have to carry that thing all around the truck with me as I’m loading and unloading all day.
@crazzywolfie I know what you're trying to say, honestly, I'm not fighting with you. As a response to that, though, a dead battery can and does occur at the worst time, regardless. I'm not saying use them, and your argument is a little poor, given batteries die no matter what the job is. (And a 12 or 24v car charger isn't somewhere in the truck? I carry a 12v battery charger for my impact, just in case, and I'm not an industrial user)
@CaseyLaDelle oh, and sure, I'm not saying you do. I think you've well proven these are the shittest idea out there. In the video, you did say "then you've got to carry an impact gun on your truck", which I assumed you carried anyway.
@petermiddo you're just being a smartass! That's all you're doing!
That was awesome. You are correct. Lots of flatbed truckers like the ratchet binders. They are what lots of truckers use.
You are absolutely right, the speed binders I bought won't stay tight, they didn't have the lock on them. Been hauling since 1984 the hand racket is the way to go. Every time I stop I will walk around the truck and if I want to tighten a chain a couple pulls on the ratchet and you are good.
Not to poke the bear 😂 but have you seen the actual Speed Binder brand? Pretty legit and none of the lock tab BS that this one had….. BUT regardless, i agree, standard ratchet binders are not that hard 🤦♂️
Yes, and I’ve used them. Still garbage.
We use them multiple times daily in a professional equipment rental outfit and we like them. They aren't everyone's cup of tea, and the disadvantage of having an expensive drill is still there. They are far better than the ones Casey showed. Every business has to make their own decision. In the environment we move equipment, the trailer type we use, the good employees I have, and our problems we have with traditional ratchet binders, all play in to our decision. Casey is not wrong and neither are we; we just have different ways of evaluating the tools we use and how they fit our businesses. The bottom line, though, is that if you want to get a speed binder type setup, the SpeedBinder brand is superior to the one he showed.
@@akdoug6437 agreed! I have lots of ratchet binders and a few Speed Binders… they both have their place and different flavors for different people/businesses.
@@CaseyLaDelle just like you
Absolutely love these real review videos.
Your response makes the total sense . Yet the old binder wasn’t bad yet the ratcheting is better!!
I agree with you. Too many people trying to reinvent the wheel. And when you complicate things you open up more things to either go wrong or be done wrong
I'll never have a use for one of those (since I'm a retired old lady) but, if I did, I know which one to buy now lol. 😎
Glad I could help! 😂
@@CaseyLaDelle you don't want to help anyone but yourself and your bank account
@@GhostofeightdancestudentJust bs. If ever that were the case, it would benefit him much more promoting things companies suggest him in the way they desire, instead of doing honest reviews from his personal standpoint.
Right there! The honesty of Casey! He does not ask vendors to send him their products. If he wants something he buys the items he wants! Does he ask vendors to send him something to promote? Never!! That is a man with integrity who is not trying to get something for nothing. Has Casey ever done a promotion video? Yes, for a product he had already purchased and found the product to be truly outstanding. And he didn't do the promotion video on request! He did the promotion video because truly loved and used the product. He also did a promotion video to tell a vendor that the product they had sent him he wouldn't buy. Because he didn't want vendors sending him something that he wouldn't buy and that the sucked. No one should ever say Casey doesn't have integrity!!!

I have the exact same screw binder Casey is using. Got it from a place that sold logging supplies. A huge improvement over my lever binders. And even being well over 25 years old now, still works like the day it was born.
Thanks Casey, I get the feeling, that some people are just looking for a use for the tools they have bought and are buying these products because they need the other tool they have, like the impact wrench. I love these honest kinds of reviews.
Always astounded that people tell you how to do your job when YOU are the professional. Gads. Just wish they would hush.
So many of the KZhead channels turn into commercials. That the reason I no longer watching them.
It’s fully understandable and logical why they do it. As a KZhead channel grows it demands more and more of your time, to the point that any other source of income you have, like a job or business, starts to suffer or disappear completely, and then you need to make up for that loss
Good on you for telling the truth and ignoring all the companies that just want you to promote their crap even if it isn't good. I appreciate your integrity and it definitely makes me more inclined to watch your channel.
Well said Casey. Junk is junk no matter who uses it. And I've seen how some people strap/tie/chain loads down around where I live. Some things are just a corner or a strong wind away from falling off
I think you made a mistake with this as you missed something which I think is rather important. The initial setup and everything makes a point, but what about if you drive and then need to tighten it? That seems far worse. With the normal one, it is simple, quick and easy to tighten it. But with the other one you need to pull out tools, loosen the locks, tighten it, the tighten the locks and if you have to repeat that multiple times for each one, that is a major pain, means you are outside of the cab for longer, not driving, so it is even less safe and costs you time and money. So far, you battery review is still my favorite, the one which you asked about it, they said it did everything that you needed, then when you got it, it didn't and they got upset that you hadn't done the review, so then you used it to hold the seat up when you were working on the Jeep.
One of the other channels I watch regularly has some binders that are very similar to the manual ones you prefer but have a port on them that can be used with an impact. Seems the best of both worlds. Those green ones just seemed awkward to me.
And that’s the type that I thought I saw on Ron’s channel…is that the one you meant?
That just means they are twice as heavy. Soooo….. no thanks.
@@CaseyLaDelle are they though? They look identical to a normal binder, with the addition of a nut on the ratchet system so you can snug them up with an impact. Like the other commenters here are saying, those are the type I've seen Ron Pratt use, and he's not exactly the kind of guy that screws around with inferior products.
@@elbekko yes, they are. I have used them and everything I said in this video with the exception of the extra locks applies just the same.
@@CaseyLaDelle Very possible. The ones you use have the advantage of being dead nuts simple
this right here just got you my subscribe. Keep it honest, keep it real, keep it coming man!
Helluva review! I think it is especially informative for people who haven't used ratcheting binders before and, therefore, might not realize the downsides to the green ones.
