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.

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

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

I'm not a climber but I think this particular cord is more for hobbyists making woven jewelry. I'd suggest contacting the seller. I definitely would NOT take a chance on it!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I'll bet you could. What size is the shock cord currently running thru the tube, if if its 1/4 I guess it would, but you don't need 100ft. JN

Hi Joshua,No, it does not come with a "Shock Mount". Just a hard mount only.

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

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

Yes. It is what I am using. I like the string. It will not runaway anymore.

I doubt it. ... you can replace the shock cord as it is only tied in a knot.

Yes, it's like a heavy thread, and I haven't used it yet because it wasn't what I needed. I was looking for a heavier twine. It should fuse well though.

Hello yes the cable is like a boat trailer system - you want to use it to take up the slack - then use the hydraulic jack to lift - if it was not like this I think it would only be 1/2 as useful
