FAQs
What is the maximum stretch length of these bungee cords?
These bungee cords are designed to stretch up to double their original length.
Are these bungee cords suitable for permanent outdoor use?
Yes, the UV and weather-resistant outer sheath is designed to withstand outdoor elements, but for maximum longevity, storing them out of direct sunlight when not in use is recommended.
What is the diameter of the bungee cord?
The bungee cords have a diameter of 8mm.
Can I use these bungees to secure heavy machinery?
These are heavy-duty cords, but their suitability for extremely heavy loads depends on the weight and static vs. dynamic forces involved. Always ensure the load is also adequately supported by other means if necessary and test the securing system.
How many bungee cords are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 bungee cords.
What material are the hooks made of?
The hooks are heavy-duty and plastic-coated to protect surfaces.
What is the difference between the rubber/latex core and a standard bungee?
The 50% rubber / 50% latex core provides enhanced elasticity and hold retention compared to standard bungee cords, allowing for greater stretch and better recovery.
Troubleshooting
Bungee cord not stretching as expected
Ensure the cord is not frozen or excessively cold, as this can temporarily reduce elasticity. Check for any kinks or obstructions along the cord's length.
Hooks feel loose or are not gripping anchor points well
Verify that the anchor points are suitable and that the hooks are fully engaged. For maximum security, use anchor points designed to accommodate the hook's shape.
Outer sheath appears worn or frayed
Discontinue use of the bungee cord. While the sheath offers protection, significant wear indicates potential compromise of the inner core's integrity and load-bearing capacity.
Hooks leaving marks on surfaces
While designed to be non-scratching, always test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure the plastic coating is intact and free from debris that could cause scratching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These bungee cords require no setup. Simply attach the hooks to anchor points and stretch the cord to secure your items. Ensure the hooks are securely fastened to a stable point.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard anchor points, D-rings, eyelets, and frame tubing. The plastic-coated hooks are designed to be safe for use on painted surfaces, metal, wood, and plastics.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically inspect the bungee cords for signs of wear, such as fraying of the outer sheath or degradation of the inner core. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
