The strap did not grip objects well, in spite of having serrations. My Canadian Tire Blue Boa strap wrench provides much better grip in spite of the smooth surfaced strap. I think the rubber compound is too hard on the Flotool strap.
Yesterday I was using the Flotool on an oil filter and the strap broke. I was not applying much force.
I only bought the Flotool because I expected it to be of decent quality, coming from Hopkins, an American company. Needless to say I am very disappointed with Hopkins.
