Hi Adrian, It would be interesting to see a web reference to the rope ratchet, if possible. Regarding S hooks, it would seem to me that they would not be the best choice for this application. The reason is if the line loosens, the S hook can come off and you have no attachment. If you used something like a carabiner, if the line loosens, you're still attached.
