Is this "SHOCK CORD" the same as a BUNGEE CORD ? if yes, then why not call it Bungee cord?

A typical 'Bungee Cord' may be of varying lengths and thicknesses, and quality. This shock cord seems to be of a higher quality that what I have seen for most 'bungee cords'. So think of this as a high quality bungee cord, of a particular thickness, in bulk (comes on a roll).

As I understand it, 'Bungee Cord' is more-or-less a trade name for a particular product that is universally used for many similar products. i.e. a 3 foot cord with hooks on each end. However 'shock cord' is a more descriptive title of the cord itself, and it can be used to make many other products including 'Bungee Cords'. In essence, the shock cord is the bulk cord before anything is attached to it, or made from it. I used it to re-string some camping chairs, and to make tie-downs for an RV awning screen. Plus I have made several custom 'bungee cords' that suit my particular needs.

Yes, it does stretch, but not like a bungee cord. If you need low/no stretch try Amsteel.

It's about the same as the original cord. This is great for a quick fix but the next time the cords broke I bought 500 ft of shock cord from Amazon.

No, not at all. It's EXTREMELY durable and is reinforced in high wear areas. I highly recommend this cord.

No. I've never used anti-shock poles to compare, but I never had any problems with these.

The answer is yes to both. However, you might want to match the diamter of the cord to the shock cord in your tent poles to ensure it will be strong enough.

I am responding but I am not the company, I bought this cord. I felt like it did break pretty quickly and I was planning to order a stronger one.

Not Sure If It's the same one. I use it for my swat gear and it has held up very well. I carry it around all the time.

Yep - both ends. We purchased the blue one to, figured couldn't go wrong for the price - & use both together. My dog wears a body harness & neither he nor I get yanked around. The two bungees provide a good deal of elasticity.

Hello Ash, Thank you for your inquiry. It really is up to you, if you want to use something a little heavier depending on the project this is the Elastic Cord to use. Also it is easier to tie this one at the end into a knot. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Kind Regards, Elsie Customer Service Representative S&S Worldwide

I don't think it is any different. It is the same size (diameter or whatever you prefer to call it) and is supposed to hold up to 50 lbs. I expected it to be much thicker so I did not use it to hang stuff but I suspect it would hold stated amount, it appeared very strong when I was working with it on smaller projects. It states that it ties like string. It does not tie that well. Hope this helps.

This is excellent shock cord, bit not having any experience with the functional requirements of a zip line brake, I cannot offer an opinion on your question.

I have installed the shock so I cannot answers your questions, but I can say that the shock work great. You will have to use the skinniest spring compressor you can find or the it will bind against the shock. (Real pain with wrong tools)

To my knowledge it is still the same. It is a hard mic to find a shock mount for, so I just went with the stock solution.

It should, but for safety I would go the hardware store and get some 1/2'' nylon braded rope. The para cord is good for tarps tent lines etc, it has a 500lb test, sounds like a lot but if you weigh 180 and hop in a chair you exceed that easily.

I can further confirm others' comments about the shock mount. The elastics in mine broke and I've had to hack something together with rubber bands!Can anyone suggest a good replacement shock mount--or just a regular mount as, in my situation, the "shock" aspect is overkill.
