linuxwrangler Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yeah, I have several. Just used them to tie the sled to the roof-rack a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxwrangler Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have four of the small and a couple large. Looks like they have a bigger one now called the "big". I usually keep the large pair in the glove box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have the small w/para-cord and plan to tarp a pickup load of pine straw for my garden. It has to be easier than the bulky crank straps. I goggled the "Big". Seems a cheap ($ way to secure heavy loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxwrangler Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 For tying to things with holes/rings (rings in truck-beds, grommets in tarps), the one with the build-in carabiner looks nice (http://niteize.com/collections/carabiner-figure-9) but I've never used one.

bryan Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 How do you think this one compares? http://hitchcraft.net/compare9.html?gcl ... swodjCrCdA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxwrangler Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I had never seen that one, before. Looks interesting but the nice thing about the Figure-9 is that it is simple and way cheaper. IIRC, I paid less for a set of 4 _with_ lines than it costs for one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
