To hold multiple objects together and hold them in place, two ratchet belts are required. Use one strap to hold objects together and the other strap to wrap them and hold them in place.

To bundle goods, pass the belt through the bottom of the ratchet. The groove at the bottom of the ratchet, called the "spindle", is used to fix the length of the webbing. To thread the belt, start under the ratchet and push it up through the spindle. The threaded tape shall then be placed straight and its length shall overlap the second tape on the other side of the ratchet. Continue to pass the strap through the spindle until you feel the tension. Remember, you can tighten it with a ratchet later, so don't worry too much about its length.
