4PCS 1/8" 6Ft Adjustable Heavy Duty Rope Hanger Ratchet Kayak and Canoe Bow and Stern Tie Downs Straps (6)

These are a great alternative to bungee cords

I find these way more handy working on cars then bungee cords ever were. Hold tight and fast to use. Any length is achievable unlike a bungee that you need to make shorter, longer or hold tighter.

I bought this product for a fairly light-duty use. I needed some cords to retain one-gallon gas cans in the back of my snowmobiles. Works perfect for that! I noticed in the product description that they say "use for retaining a canoe to a car", or words to that effect. I do a lot of paddling so I'm well acquainted with the similar cords we use to put the canoe on the roof. These are FAR too light-duty to accomplish that! I already have about a dozen cords for that use and these are a fraction of the width of the cords on my legit canoe cords. I was actually glad to see how tiny they are because I wanted something similar to my canoe cords to use in the sleds but on a smaller scale. These are perfect for that but if you buy these to tote your canoe at 55 MPH on the roof of your car, make sure your canoe is insured! They are not going to be strong enough!

These things are a godsend! I use them for about anything that needs held down. I work as a generator field technician so these help secure unused oil, load banks that fit in the bed of my service truck, holding wires out of the way while doing load banks, they are worth the money if you need to secure items from tipping or rolling. I’ve used them at home as well as for work. They come in handy more often than you you would know after having to use them continuously. I have to sets and will come back for replacements when needed.

I really love to kayak ,and going to different places with them is 1/2 the fun which means they have to be SECURED . Cam buckle straps[never ratchet straps] hold them in the J racks yes, but unless they are tied down bow and stern sooner or later you will be very unhappy. The operative word here is tied , ropes work but not everyone learned knots101 and they can and do stretch and loosen up. These tie downs are simple to use incredibly handy and reliable. Don't take chances, launch your yak into the water not down the highway.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:On delivery and inspection, only two straps were included with the 4 pieces being two cam locks and two guy lines. They work fine though.

I use these in the automotive shop to hold lines ,harnesses and such out of the way. They are an improvement over a bungee as they will not spring back and nail you if they should get lose.

Good item /fast shipping buy with confidence/ AAA+++
