Made a thing I saw some Youtuber use. Its as useful as it looked, and easy to make.
Couple bits cut off a rusty rod, cleaned up and welded together as letter "h" and voila, a webbing winder for use with a battery drill.
Instead of a tangled mess in a bucket, I've got my cargo straps ready for next use in record time. Should also work with the firehose, but I haven't tried that yet.
If you're making one, two tips:
1. The short leg should be terminating before the long leg reaches the bottom so it can be used against a flat surface. About 5-10mm shorter.
2. The legs should be slightly narrower at the bottom than at the top, to make it easy pulling the tool out of a tight roll when done.
