Bungee cord is perfect for securing a gas can, cooler, cargo bag or other lightweight item in your truck, trailer or cargo carrier. It gives you control of tension and length with a simple tug. Adjustable length eliminates need for multiple bungees.

Specs:
Note: Tie-down straps must be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). The weight of the secured cargo must not exceed the combined WLL of the straps being used. For example, if you are using straps with a WLL of 500 lbs each to tie down a load weighing 1,000 lbs, then you need at least 2 straps to safely secure that load. It is recommended that you always use straps in pairs.

Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at something I think is pretty neat. These are adjustable bungee cords. We have three different links available and what they allow us to do is use a bungee cord, but it gets rid of a lot of the headaches that come with them. Generally you get all your gear loaded up, you start to bungee them in, and one bungee cord is too short. The other bungee cord's too long.
You got to try to wrap it around and hook it back to something. They can just be really a pain to use. With this design though, regardless of the length that we're trying to reach, we can get excellent tension on our straps.These have an adjuster built in right here. You can see we're able to slide this if we need something that's a little bit longer or push it down if we need something that's just a little bit shorter. I'm just going to pull this in and it's going to give us good range there.
With that being the case, we can get it adjusted to the length that we need and make nice solid connections. The connection point itself, it's going to be a steel hook so we get great strength out of it. You see no flex or no give to it. And it's also a rubber coated, so if we don't want to say our cargo carrier, whatever we're connecting to, if we don't want that to get scratched, it's not going to be something that we have to worry about.Now when relaxed these are going to be what they consider a nine millimeter strap, so they have really good tension to them as you're trying to stretch them and trying to pull them, they give you a lot of tension. It's definitely going to help.
You can see, really hold our items in really well and unlike other ones, since we can get proper tension on these, we don't have to worry about them bouncing off as we hit stuff.And another thing I like about these straps is that we don't have to have 18 different length bungee straps around. They come in three different sizes. The greens that we have here, these are going to be 16 inches to 24 inches from hook to hook. The orange are 22 to 32. We even offer a yellow that's going to go anywhere from 28 up to 48 inches.
So you can imagine by just having two of these, two of these and two of the yellows, it's really going to cover all your bases.Now the adjuster itself is good dense plastic. It has a flat spot here on the backside, so that should be able to rest up against any items that we're going to be hauling. I'd say, except for very, very delicate items, you wouldn't have any issue with this causing any kind of damage to it, but if there's something that you've got a good finish on, you're really concerned about, it might leave a little bit of a mark on it.So if I'm just being honest with you, generally bungee cords aren't my favorite securement method. That wouldn't be my first choice, but these things do help change my mind a little bit. I like the adjustability. I like that they have good tension, they have nice strong hooks to them, and if I had a need, I'd pick up a set of these. I really like the way these work. Again, that adjustability I think is huge with bungee cords.As an alternative to this, if you wanted something more in the ratchet strap style, that's something I would look at, or even a cam buckle style strap. We offer a four pack of straps from etrailer. They come in a nice carrying kit. That might be a good alternative to getting items like this secured as well.
As advertised. Perfect fit and super fast shipping.
High recommended. Thanks
Just what I was looking for and a fair price. Delivered quickly. Thanks
High quality. Have not used yet
It seems like bungie cords are almost either too long or too short, this one seems to fit the bill
Great product but their shipping sucks.
Great for inside use as I have. And will buy more How's that
Sorry but these cords hard to ajust and I don't use them.
I bought a variety pack of the smart straps and I'm very impressed with the quality of the product. They are strong and the adjustability makes them very useful. A great purchase and I plan on getting another set soon.
The product was very high quality and very reasonably priced. The trailer hitch arrived quickly with free shipping and fit perfectly. The instructions said a pro could put it on in 10 minutes. My installer was up for the challenge and finished installing 5 minutes after I pulled the hitch out for him. The product looks great and is very discreet.

I've used these SmartStraps adjustable bungee cords to tie down PVC pipe onto the roof rack of my car. I put the PVC pipe into the loop part of the bungee cord, tighten the loop around the pipe and the then fasten the hook onto the roof rock.
I bought a set of these years ago and used them on my cargo hitch every year when we go on vacation. They have held up very well and the adjustable aspect has been ideal for my usage. I ordered another set as the others now seem somewhat weathered but still do the job. The old ones will still be used locally, and the new ones are getting ready for this year's beach trip!
Just got to check them out today.2 thumbs
Comboing different sizes creates a variety of applications.
Will be ordering more soon.
We just put the cover on for the second time. Of course, since we've done it before, it was easier the second time. This cover fits perfectly. It held up great last winter. We expect it to be great again. The straps at the front and back let you snug it up great. The straps across the bottom come with clip on weights to throw the straps under. Less crawling around. The foam covers for the gutters are perfect. All around this a great cover. Very happy.
Purchased three different sizes of the SmartStraps Adjustable Bungee Cords. The cords are very well made with rubber coated metal hooks and very easy to adjust the length. Being adjustable I don't have to carry different size bungee cords. These cords are a great addition to the cargo straps I keep in my truck.

Adjustable bungee cords are great. One size bungee cord for all applications.
Product arrived on time and as advertised. The total order was just as I would have expected. I would not hesitate to recommend or to order again from etrailer.
Quick delivery and good price. I can’t comment on the serviceability as I have not used it but it looks like good quality
Perfect size for holding gear on my motorcycle. Adjustable and long lasting.
These worked great. No need to look for the right length. Once adjusted they stay in that position. I will buy more soon.
Got item fast and appears to be of very good quality and although I haven’t put it to use yet I think it will work great.
