Hi everyone, let me clear a few things up about the TiteTie.

The TiteTie is made from hardened steel with a breaking strength of 1900lbs. It is selling as a test in 10 Home Depot stores for $6.97 a set with plans to go national early next year.

To tie the TiteTie is very easy and takes most people about 2 goes to master it. The good thing about the TiteTie is that all you have to do is pull the rope tight - there's no tying off required.

The TiteTie works the same way as a trucker's knot with equal mechanical advantage and will work with any type of rope and will also work with webbing straps.

The TiteTie is designed to be a better trucker's knot. You can also use the TiteTie to create a second hitch and increase tension, but what's better is that now you can take the second hitch out because the first hitch is held by the TiteTie. This allows you to re-hitch again and pull the rope for a second time and so on, creating much greater tension. It also gives you more rope to lash over the load and secure futher.

I have been to many trade shows and heard from many who can tie trucker's knots and after showing them the advantages over the trucker's knot, they love it and often buy two sets. Please take a minute to watch my demonstration vidoes:
