Not 36" long, does not come apart
The ones I received in February 2018 were 28.5" long, measured by laying the strap out flat, fully extended, and measuring between the two pairs of holes closest to the webbing. Did I say "fully extended"? Yup, mine didn't come apart - the end of the webbing is folded back and sewn, making a section too thick to fit through the cam buckle. Maybe they really do come apart if you really work at it, I didn't care about that feature, so I didn't try very hard.Note that 28.5 inches is a bit too short to span two stud bays on a wall, so if you were hoping, as I was, to secure something to the wall by running the strap in front of it, that won't work. Also, you probably wouldn't be able to detach the strap without unscrewing one of the ends from the wall.I made it work by using both straps, attached to the top of my thing, and then attaching the other ends to the next stud. This appears to hold well enough that it won't tip over, so technically it works, but it looks lousy and isn't anywhere near as tight as it should be.(In case anyone is really curious, I'm using these on a 70 pound rack/tower UPS, which is 19" tall, 19" deep and 3.5" wide. It normally sits on a couple of little plastic feet to keep it from tipping over. By removing the feet and pushing it back flush to the wall, I gain 3" under my desk.)

Very well made and nice finish. Recommended, especially for heavier tvs and furniture.
Much nicer than the other straps I've seen and bought. Overbuilt- I'm fairly certain an adult could hang from one of these straps. The gunmetal grey finish is a nice touch. Buckle is very easy to adjust, unlike some others. Comes with a plethora of mounting hardware, so you should be able to attach it to just about anything- furniture, tvs, studs, and drywall. Their customer service department even checked in with me to make sure I was happy with the purchase. If they were half the price I'd only buy these instead of the cheaper straps with plastic plates. However, the price of these can add up quickly. Nonetheless, I'd definitely recommend these.It is worth noting that the "2 Pack" comes with two straps, or enough to do one tv or wide/tall piece of furniture.

Excellent Anti-Tip Straps
These are very nice straps and seemed to be better quality than similar straps which I saw in some local stores.They were easy to install with a wide selection of included screws to cover different television sets. I did look very carefully at the sketches on the instructions to make sure that I installed them in the correct direction and orientation. The curve on the metal end pieces is nice since it allows a better alignment of the strap with the required force direction than "straight" end pieces would have done.If you revise the instruction sheet, I suggest adding a list of the parts: upper strap (length), lower strap (length), and a list of the different sizes, lengths and types and number of screws. This information may also be useful in product descriptions so that buyers would know what hardware is included (that it is included), so they will know what additional hardware (screws and washers) they may need to provide. And you might also list a "maximum" and "minimum" recommended length for the straps when properly installed and adjusted. You might also want to include a "circled blow-up detail" of the cleats on each end on some of the sketches to show how the bend in the cleats should be oriented when they are installed just to draw attention to that detail.I have several references which recommend pilot holes for various screw sizes and materials, so I was able to measure the wood screw sizes and select the appropriate pilot hole size from those tables based upon "hard wood", "soft wood" and "metal". A small table in the instructions giving this information for the included wood screws would be nice for people who aren't familiar with these details.I installed pairs of the straps on two television sets to preclude "forward tipping".

Works as advertised. What more is there?
First, under "Features" it mentions ABS Plastic - Nothing is plastic. The attachments and strap adjustments are sturdy metal. It also mentions included tools - there are none. There are every kind of screw and wall anchor you might need.Beyond that - it is "as described". Simple to install and use. Serves it's purpose well. Very sturdy - I have it anchoring a 75" flat screen TV quite securely.Nothing to not like here. It does what it says it does.

product is good, just get someone who knows how to use ...
They help me sleep at night. Make sure you get someone who has a clue to install. You need a stud finder. I installed these myself and then tried to pull them off the wall using a relative amount of force and they didn't rip out of the wall, so they seem effective. I'm convinced if I rip hard enough I could jerk it out of the wall, my dresser still leans, but the straps stop it from coming down. I'll probably have a buddy of mine check it bc I'm not a carpenter. The straps are metal and durable, product is good, just get someone who knows how to use a drill and find studs etc

Safety and easy to install
We are using these straps to ensure that a tall and heavy china cabinet doesn't fall forward. The floor is a little uneven and the piece rocked forward fairly easily. I feel confident that you can not accidentally knock into it and have it fall.
