Split tree - solution?

[Mick Dempsey]

No I mean you should close the ratchet handle up to the mechanism for safety reasons, lock them by closing them, otherwise they can slip.
 

Can someone explain it better?

Nope - it seems clear to me !

Good result.

Didn't agree to take the rest of it down then? Give it a few years....

I was just using the straps to stop any more splitting. Do you reckon I should have used them to close the gap?

I think in these cases trying to reverse the damage can potentially cause more danger. Tensioning to support the split was probably the right thing to do
