Many on here, myself included, use Spud Inc. safety straps when squatting as a safety precaution. Well, I decided for my second set I'm making for SS I'd make my own b/c I know what it should be, hold, work, etc.. and I have a set to go off of... my set.
I was looking all around town for some safety straps to use as the base and everyone is selling 2" width straps which is just to wide. They need to be 1" wide so it doesn't cause issues with the bar when squatting.
Well, I found a site that sells straps that can easily be used for what I'm looking to use them for. You'll need to buy some chain, 4 quick links, and 2 screw pin shackle.
Here's the site for the strap....
1" Web Width Nylon Eye & Eye Sling Type 3-USCargoControl.com
Now, if you want to just pay the 100 bucks for the Spud Inc. straps then you can do that as well. I have a pair from them but since I know I can make my own at half the price I figured I would. I also figured I'd share what I found out in case someone else might want to make their own.
