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

Yes, a small diameter red bunge cord as shown in picture. I bought wider ones- more security.

Dear Amazon Friend, YES ! My cord is certainly a Twist-lock connecting cord. It twist locks onto my generator and it twist locks onto my house mounted service box. Both ends. Not sure why it doesn't specify on this cord ? It is my understanding that all of these types of cords are a TWIST TYPE. But maybe I think that because all cords like this I've ever seen, did use a twist type locking end. Extra side note: This is a heavy duty, top quality made cord. Thick and strong, yet stays flexible in bad weather. I use this 40' cord when the weather is good but the storm has knocked me out. I leave the generator outside. When the weather is bad, like a long term hurricane situation with heavy downpours, I attach another 10' cord to this 40' cord and can then keep my generator under the cover of my carport. This brand cord works so well, I have no problem with the connection between the 2 cords either. They twist easily into each other and seal out the rain. Yes I do like this cord, and I'm picky and checked out many before making my purchase. Good Luck.

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.

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.

Btw, they are both one and the same, I've only used mine with the cord and love it..

It is a shock collar after all...But note, I purchased one and had a replacement sent to me and both "shorted out" after just a few hours and left my poor dog with a raw, hairless neck.

It's the same material as bungee cord. If you have hooks on the sides of the trailer, you could weave this through the eyes on the tarp and pull the cord to the hooks on the trailer or use the cord to make your own bungee cords. It's a good quality cord though. It's cheaper to buy directly through sgtknots.com though

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

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

As long as the diameter of the mounting area in the chair is the same as shock, it should work just fine.

I would think it would tell you that in Specs section of the product. That being said, it is quite flexible and can be pulled as tight as you want it (IMHO) by looping the bungee cords.

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.

In a small way. It is a stretchy nylon wrapped cord but it is lighter duty than a bungee and you would Never use it to perform any jumping. It works great for strapping things down and for use in zero gravity chairs.

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!

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