That UV test is pretty eye opening, it's amazing that most of the cords were disintegrating after only 9 months. Obviously given the time investment it takes that requires a lot of planning ahead on your part. I've never seen someone put so much effort into testing tools the way you do, so I shouldn't be surprised!

*Tarps* themselves may be worth weather testing; several silver tarps from Harbor Freight lasted one winter covering my tractor, one silver tarp from Lowe's is still going strong after four years.

Wise to include the long-range weathering wear-out test.

Just the sheer amount of time, logistics, attention to detail and real world testing is never lost on us. Appreciate all that you do Todd - you’re the legit replacement for consumer products testing

I have said it before and I'll say it again. I'll take the reviews of all products that you do so amazingly, over any biased web sites out there. Your method of testing is so basic yet so effective, that it needs to be recognized. Well done, my friend, well done.

A neighbor of mine lost a lower eyelid from rubber strap failing while securing a load. Any of those straps failing over time would be a "do not buy". Thank you PF for your invaluable testing!

Wow, wow, wow. The UV test was eye opening to be sure, but the thing that stuck out to me the most was the simple 24 hour test! Crazy that there's so much loss after such little time. Fantastic data as always!

No matter what I’m about to buy I consult these videos before hand to make sure I’m buying a good product and if what I usually buy doesn’t come out good in the testing I switch to what does, these tests are really like “end of discussion” results and they’re very appreciated by a lot of people, the dedication to thoroughness and unbiased results is top tier to say the least, thanks for all your time and dedication
