Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Nite Ize SS-SMS-9001203 CamJam Cord Tightener - Black, Single Pack: Efficient and Reliable Tightening Solution by Brandon Guidroz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great overall, holds up to 150 lbs, some limitations

-- Works well with the three types of paracord I've tried (5/32 inch / 4mm diameter) -- May need to If you hand-tight, push the cam back into the locked position, and it will tend to hit harder if you do so. Holds a 150 pound load, which is about the average working load of paracord (which typically has a 550 pound breaking point for a new rope). worried about the plastic hook bending or breaking in cold weather. And if there are any safety concerns (like overhead weight) I wouldn't load them with anything close to 150 pounds. (1 foot of sag) with 12 pounds of vertical load (lights and cords) evenly distributed across it. - For effective tension you need to pull straight back in the direction your line is running (can't pull at a high angle, may make a difference for some applications) -- There is only one way to get the line through the nock , is shown on the product image. The "two methods of attachment" refers to a line either attached to a fixed point (such as an eyebolt) or in a loop and attached to a hook (perhaps to secure a bundle of firewood).

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • It's fine
