I very often use a method to secure large and small items in the bed of my truck. Maybe 2-3 times a week. Almost every time I do this I figure to myself that the hooks will fall out of position or that all my strings have become tangled, that there must be something in there that will make the process a little quicker and easier. I FOUND IT with the help of these simple yet amazing ties. If you are familiar with cam buckles, you may have been frustrated by the fact that you always have to find a way to tighten/tighten the straps, because in order to tighten the strap with a regular cam buckle, the strap must be pulled against your lever. With them you always pull towards you and have 100x control over how tight the load should be. I show it to almost everyone who will listen to me. I fucking love these things and want to knit random things just for fun because I appreciate the design, how they work. If you frequently use some form of harness, rope, or bungee, then do yourself a favor. and get some of these and you'll wonder where they've been all your life. Yes, that's great!
