KotapMABC-18 All- Purpose Adjustable Bungee Cords with Hooks, 18-Inch, Orange/Black, 10 Count

When it comes to bungies, there's a lot of junk out there. These seem like they'll last for a while, and I like the adjustability. I bought them to hold a tarp over my 17' bass boat.

These are PHENONENAL. I've had lots of bungee cords, had I known about these would've bought them long ago. Top quality, awesome hooks, look great, and best of all the hooks are detachable and the cords adjustable- instructions not needed, a monkey could do it (but see below for how I did it and an alternate, quicker method, with photos). I bought a tarp to partially cover my motorhome and shield it from the hot sun (great if you're looking for one: Kotap 15-ft x 30-ft Heavy-Duty 12 by 12 Cross Weave 8-mil Reversible Green/Silver Poly Tarp, Item: TGS-1530), made by the same company, and by detaching the hooks, I could run the cords THRU the eyelets on the tarp for innumerable ways to anchor it. I'm not a DIY person, believe me, and by the time I was done the tarp was trussed like a turkey, could withstand the strongest wind, and looked like a professional did it. SO pleased! I used them all, now I'm buying more. Highest recommendation!Removing hooks (see photos): The end of each cord is doubled over and encircled by a heavy metal ring, like a thick staple. I took two pairs of pliers (one regular, one needlenose) and opened it up, pried it off. I'm not very strong and it took muscle, and even more muscle to put it back on, bend it back into shape around the doubled-up cord. So the next time around I snipped off the doubled up end and metal ring with tin snips, and removed the hook at one end. Then I ran the cord thru the desired eyelets on the tarp, and reattached the hook at the end. I fastened a zip-tie tightly to the end of the cord (don't even need to fold the cord back on itself this way), the zip tie keeps the cord from passing thru the hook. Then I cut off the excess zip tie. I used a white zip-tie, a black one would look better, blend right in. The zip tie works perfectly, doesn't slip, even when the cord is stretched at maximum tension. Quick and easy.

Good price and hold up well outside through a Michigan winter

I needed specific length bungees to hold an Auto windscreen shield on my car to keep the sun from overheating the inside. I was using longer length bungees with knots tied in them to make the right length. These old ones started to wear and fray from sunlight. I found these adjustable bungees and they do the trick. These bungees are adjustable on both ends. I also wanted these because of the coated hooks, they would be less likely to scratch the car surfaces. One odd thing was that the shorter ones were more expensive then these 32 inch ones. They are adjustable, so I went for the LEAST expensive 10 pack. They work perfectly. (Before anyone wonders why I don't just fold the end flaps around the door edge and use the door to hold the screen in place; the answer is if it rains that channels the rain INTO the interior and I get a puddle inside the car)

Love the adjustable bungee function, elastic cord seems strong. Would buy again

These are probably the best bungee cords that I have ever used. I've used my fair share of bungee cords over the years. I usually get the cheapest ones that I can find, and am subsequently disappointed by how fast they wear out. I am a huge fan of these cables because I have had them 6 months so far and they still have an incredible amount of elasticity. Most cables would have been stretched out so that they are only elastic at near max length. Not only do these cables have superior elastic properties, you can adjust each end so that you can have the maximum amount of applied force. They are super stretchy though and blow away the kind that you find at harbor freight. Although they have faded a little since I got them, I am pretty sure that they have most of the same elasticity as when they were new. The ones that have been under tension for 6 months only feel slightly less elastic than one that has been used periodically. I use it to strap down boxes in my work van and I have never had one fail on me, or had the locking mechanism slip.I would also like to point out the amazing value to quality ratio. These are definitely worth the price I paid, and in fact I bought another pack of them recently. The straps are very long, and even if you do not need all the length you can shorten an end. This is way better than buying assorted lengths IMO. They are only about $1.50 a piece so if you need long bungee cords these are the ones you want!

Just the right strength for securing things.

These work great!

Muy buen ajuste

Para vários usos. Resistente e funcional.

Bonne qualité

Nicely made, with good strong hooks. The fact that they are adjustable is handy. I made an error on the length so have to use 2 bungees instead of 1 for most needs and demands - my fault, not the product.I will buy them again when I need some more.
