Abstract: A device for retaining unused portions of a tie-down strap comprises first and second hooks attached to opposing ends of an elastic cord. Each hook, oriented 180 degrees relative to one another, is for receiving selected portions of the tie-down strap. The hooks each include a first substantially flat member attached to the respective end of the cord, a second member disposed opposite the first member, and a crook connecting the first member and the second member. The second member is spaced-apart from, and resiliently flexible relative to, the first member. Disposing either hook onto the selected portion of the tie-down strap frictionally engages the hook. The device is disposable about the unused portions of the tie-down strap, wherein each hook disposes onto a portion of the strap, and the cord prevents the straps from coming undone.
