What our customer's say!
"Best way to Bungee!", This is much better than an ordinary bungee cord for uses where you need strength and firmness. The cord has a strong flex that will stretch less than a regular cord, which means it holds things in place much better. This is nicely compensated for by having it fully adjustable from 6" to 40" un-stretched. And it will, with a good deal of stress, stretch an additional 50% of the length you have it adjusted to.
Because it doesn't stretch as much as ordinary bungees, be sure 40" un-stretched or 60" fully stretched (and tight!) will be long enough for your needs. If not, you can either search for a longer one or buy two so you can add them together.
The sturdy hooks are made of plastic-coated steel which is advertised as being stronger than the usual coated wire. The adjustment cam works very easily and intuitively and you can just pull it tight after you wrap it around what you are holding down. As another reviewer has reported, the actual locking mechanism is different than the one pictured on this product page; it appears to be an improvement because there is no way it can be released under tension without unhooking it, whereas the one originally pictured by Amazon looks like it could come loose if you accidentally pulled the cord pigtail out of the locking notch. I will add a photo of what you will get to the reviewer-supplied photos at the top of this page.
"You must STRETCH it some to work it", The third hardware store guy figured out for me how to use it. No MasterLock instruction or good picture as to how to work it. It seems that the tension of the cord "in use" creates the pressure on the other end of the cam upside down semi-circle to hold the cord in place. My confusion arose because this cord is not an "at rest" clamp method: No tension means cord just slides through all the way to end. Several hardware store people and me could not figure out how to work it since it was not stretched. Thus, know that you have to have it STRETCHED some to generate the pressure needed to keep the cord jammed "shorter" by the Cam Lock.
"Adjustable is great", I use it in the bed of my truck to keep things from sliding around.
"Great multi-use cord.", This cord really is helpful when you require adjustability and good strong tighness on different sized objects. Good design, easy to use.
"not like the picture", I almost threw this in the trash. The adjustable end does NOT fold back 180 degrees like the picture shows. When you pull the two hooks apart, it will lock but it will never look like the picture.

"Adjustable lenght design is a winner.", This bungee cord is special due to its adjustability. One of the end hooks is fixed, the other can be positioned anywhere along the stretch cord to effectively change the cord length. The cam-like design works beautifully and it allows rapid adjustments so the cord always provides just the right amount of tension.
July 25, 2009 update: I've used this cord to strap boxes and painting supplies to a rolling cart. At first I didn't fully trust the mechanism, so I'd use an extra, traditional bungee cord, as well. Lately, after almost a year of use, I fully trust the Master Lock Adjustable cord and have stopped using the other, redundant, cord. The cam design does not slip, even with the vibration of rolling the cart for miles over bumpy streets! After a year of very heavy use, the stretch cord is showing some signs of wear, but the plastic hooks and cam mechanism are fine. It still works perfectly and I've just ordered another two because I like this product so much.
"Great little hooks", Arrived ahead of schedule and in great condition. Easy to adjust.More practical than you would think.
"Meat-hooks?", Its hooks are too big! I don't like them at all. I never used them since I bought them. They are collecting dust. I continued to use the old ones I bought from the 99 cents store.
"Sturdy Item", Not much to say - item is of good quality and works good at tying things together.
"Good but short", The product looks and feels sturdy and the adjusting mechanism is great. Only problem, there's no need to adjust! the length is short. Yeah, I know I should have looked closely at the specs but what do you expect from measurements given in inches and mm for the same product and different dimensions. There's also practically no stretch to it. Either look for something else or get 2 of them.
