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.

I think both are about the same security but in different ways. Cable locks the slide while this one locks the trigger. I purchased the trigger locks so I have same combination on all my guns instead of separate keys. Just a personal decision.

I assume it is. It's the same as the original cord, just twice as long...which is great!!

Is the shock cord elastic? Can it be cinched down tighter so it will not blow off in heavy wind?

NO... the end on this cord in the picture is NOT what you get... the end actually is round and rubber... it is not what is pictured - unusable

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)

I use it on my 10lbs dog so I would say no. I highered a trainer to help me in using is and actually never needed the shock part, just the tone since my dog responded so well to it. Hope that helps.

The same size / thickness as the original shock / Bungy cord if at all possible. The thickness or width is measured when the cord is relaxed not stretched.

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.

It's a better idea to use a strong bungee cord or two to secure a bike to a car rack and to keep the front tire from bouncing around. There's an excellent set here, on AMAZON.COM that would be an excellent choice. Low price and Prime eligible, the ASIN # B009ONI2B8. If I weren't so happy with the cables I have, I would order this set with various lengths of extra strong bungee cords. Good luck.

I would have to say no... Not sure any shock will... Sounds more like Springs to me

it is not really a shock but more of a vibration...but...it is strong and does sting!! have fun!!

yes just smaller diameter than the type you would buy to hold down tarps and such. Perfect replacement for most cords on nearly all kayaks.

Smaller guage...but bigger than the shock / bungee cord that you find in outdoor chaise lounges / recliners.

NO it is NOT a snatch strap; just received mine and am very unhappy to discover when reading the label on the package. For Smittybilt to call it a recovery strap is MISLEADING

Um, I don't know. Does not seem any different than any other thin cord I have.

The 8" bungee cord length is actually 1" ball plus 7" bungee (the elastic part). The fully extended elastic part is 14". Therefore, the ratio of the relaxed to fully extended elastic part is 1/2. FYI - the force to full extend is 8 lbs. I did this test on a new, unused one of these cords.JRR
