Good tie down straps used to be commonly available. Now what I find in hardware stores are cheesy junk (looking at one inch).
Anybody got a good source?

There's a lot of junk tie downs out there, for sure. I find good tie downs at locally owned hardware stores that supply our local commercial contractors.
I can get nice ones at the tool crib at work. I have used them to drag 30,000lb pieces of equipment across the factory floor when the union boys weren't looking.
You talking ratchet strap? Cam straps? Any particular requirements in terms of length or load rating?
What's the application?

Both - I use them for securing gear and bikes in the van and for whatever I might be hauling in my trailer.
those sticky rug pads work really well to prevent shit from sliding around inside vehicles.
Yeah, but not what I'm seeking.
I've had good luck buying stuff through both etrailer and US cargo control. Both seem to offer stuff that is higher quality than what you find at HD/Lowes/Harbor Freight.
Also, high quality retractable ratchet straps are awesome so you don't have the annoying tail to deal with.
Also also, some l-track or e-track hard mounted make for pleasant and secure loading.

Yeah, the Sprinter is short on fastening points.
May I suggest this?

We just replaced a few of our 2" canoe straps from here:
While not as "fancy" as the NRS straps they replaced, they seem fine.
For a modern take on the old Voile straps, these are made locally (BZN) and while I haven't had any personal experience, they are well loved:

I've honestly never had an issue with Husky ones from Home Depot, but the U-line ones are definitely better https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-7794/Cargo-Control/Uline-Ratchet-Tie-Downs-S-Hook-1-x-15-2100-lb-Capacity
Surprised JBP isn't just spinning his own papyrus rope
Rope worked when I had to tie your Mother down. There are unattended boats and flagpoles everywhere....
