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.

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.

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)

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

it is mis leading advertising as a "cord" but it is actually a "tape" and i wanted a cord. i used a cord with my labs for 14 yrs and never had an issue. i have already gone thru 2 tapes with my german shephard puppy ( 4mths and 50 lbs) .. if this messes up it's going back.. the header should not read cord for large dogs....

I have used this to replace the shock cord in my tent poles and they work great! I have only used about 100 of the 1000 feet so far, so I do not know if it is one piece or not. I'm not going to unravel it to find out. I have read in the comments that it was four 250 foot pieces but this does not bother me since tent poles are usually not longer than 15 to 20 feet. Well worth the price. Get it!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

I don't think so. I don't usually need one but the Pyramid Bungee Net is perfect when I need one. It is listed under "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought"; also see BUNGEE CORD SUNLT CARGO NET-BKJim

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

No. Its just for one. But its much higher quality and has more stability than the standard auto parts store shock.

No, shock cord is more like parachute cord. You would use it as a lifeline on your kayak. To use in a buddy rescue situation. To hang on to your kayak in case you capsize.
