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.

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.

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)

That was not a good bungee cord. Threw it away. I like the cart and I use it all the time to take groceries up stairs. You need closed stairs as the wheels need to push against the back wall.

From Amazon I bought SGT KNOTS DiamondGrip Shock (bungee) Cord and re-used the plastic ends from the originals. New cord works great - 2+ years and no breaks.

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.

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.

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

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

Thank you for contacting us. The cord is built into the truck. It's not a removable bungee cord.

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping. These are the strongest springs in this type of cord lock I have encountered.

Yes. This is heavier duty, and the longer you run an extension cord the heavier duty it should be. If anything this will give you an extra measure of safety.

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

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

This shock cord was a good deal. Seem well made and is holding up. The strongest way to terminate shock cord is with "hog rings". They require a special tool. There are various plastic fittings that just snap on, but they're not overly strong.

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!

did it say stanchion or extension? which would just be a longer electrical cord
