Review on πŸŽ’ Hysagtek 50Pcs Plastic Round Spring Toggles Stoppers Cord Locks End for Drawstring Bags Paracord Cords - Enhanced SEO by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

They're here, and these are your typical cords, but.

They have arrived and as I expected they are standard plastic cord locks with a spring. There's nothing particularly exciting about them, but they're certainly better than trying to tie or untie a knot on the drawstring of your holdall in the dark, right? So, here's the scoop. I make dry bags/camping bags that either didn't have proper storage like my collection of heavy stakes, stake hammers, stake pullers etc so things aren't just junk in the car. on the way to the campsite as the bag sets are not suitable for a small/medium sized sedan. I wanted paracord zippers to give me the results I wanted. I use standard 550 paracord, ordered here from Paracord World or something like that, and regular 550 paracord from the Wally World camping department. It needs to be singed to prevent it becoming a ruffled mess at the ends that creates a slight mushroom-like effect at the end of the cord. There was a major malfunction in THIS lock. To put it simply, I had to intentionally set fire to the cord and constrict the cord while the cord was still melting to avoid the mushroom effect to get both ends of the paracord through the lock. If they had made the hole a bit bigger this whole situation could have been avoided which would have made it MUCH easier to install and use. They will work and apart from that small issue they look decent enough. But given the last batch of cord locks I bought from a sewing store I had no problems and this one was very disappointing.

Pros
  • Crafts and sewing
Cons
