Repairing ratchet binders

Anyone try to straighten the threaded part on a
ratchet binder (I dont know what it is called )I have
quite a few in a pile .I could save quite a few bucks
not having to buy new ones.thats the problem with
more than one person operating a truck/trailer or
piece of equipment,they dont always know the ins
and outs of the machine/truck
 

Put some good hardwood where you need to protect the threads and press it back straight. Seems simple enough from where I'm sitting.
 
I doubt they will work again if it's badly bent.

The metal will be stretched, slightly altering the thread pitch.

But you can try.

A hydraulic press would be the best way. Once it gets close, when raising the ram, back it off just enough to be able to turn the part. You can feel it bind when the high side is up. Keep adjusting until it's straight.
 
If you try to straighten them they will never be as strong as they were, don't use them on the road again. Odds are that the threads will bind along the straightened sections anyway.

If only the threaded ends are bent, you might be able to swap parts to assemble a few good units.

If you are an employer, it is your responsibility to train your people how to properly use safety related equipment.
 
Don't have any useful advice on straightening them but saw boxes full of 2 inch new ones yesterday at Manards for about 11 bucks a piece.

Ratchet binders?
 
Im more interested in how one bends a binder screw. And then retain the same binding procedure and bend several more. I think I would try a different idea, like installing hooks on the load or the trailer in areas that allow the binder to be used the way it is supposed to be used.
 
some steels may be stressed to over its yield stress with out weakening it--- bridge beams are cambered this way--but should always check for cracks afterword
 
My co-workers put the backhoe bucket down on them after they are already hooked to the machine and binded down

They were just being sure that they were really tight!
 
RR shop I was working in had a pile of screwed up rachet binders.
I had some free time on day, so I just started mixing and matching
pieces and putting them together.
Ended up saving over a 1/3 of them.
 
Heating the long side of the bend as you straighten it would probably let the threads fit right to turn smoothly. If you are not going to use them on the road again why bother to fix them just save the good parts for later and junk the rest. I threw several away because the threads got so worn they would strip on a hard pull tying things down. bought new ones and never looked back. The screws wore/rusted and the barrels did too.
