I love ratchet straps, but I can’t seem to find any extra-short ones. I have two anchor points about 6-8 inches apart that have a slight obstruction between them (so not a straight line).

Ideally I would find some ratchets with a compact hook profile, and extra short portion of strap between the hook and ratchet. But also perhaps some kind of hook on a threaded rod and a coupling system that allows for slight bends?

It needs to be a removable solution, but it doesn’t have to be quick or easy to remove. In fact a lockable or tool-neccesary solution would be slightly ideal.

Any ideas?

Edit: I’m trying to clamp a camper shell to a truck bed. I’d like to keep the bed liner, which means I can’t use use the bed rails w/o cutting 4 holes into the liner. This leaves the 4 bed anchor points on each corner. Based off current responses, I’m probably looking at some rope system.

    can’t you just pull one of the ends of the ratchet strap all the way down until there’s only 8" between them?
