Secure That Rope or Line with Ease....................

If you are like me and are always trying to find the right knot when tying down something or trying to hold a considerable amount of tension on a rope or lines then you will love these things. There are a number of similar items on Amazon that are similar but these are the ones I use most and are called a "figure 9". It allows you to tighten and secure lines with some simple loops and and any additional tension will tighten the lines even more. It's a pretty amazing little gadget to have. It even has a little embossed diagram on it to show you how it's done.

The maximum weight and/or tension on this one is 150 lbs so it will hold most anything from falling out of the back of your truck. You can even use then to hold things against the wall in the garage.

The number of uses is amazing and once you start you'll find it hard to not use them next time. It's still important to learn various knots but this will come in really handy when you're in a hurry and just can't remember that Boy Scout Merit Badge information from 20+ years ago.

I highly recommend

Great for fast tarp setup

Figure out a way to secure these to the guy lines on your tarp, and the setup/takedown time is cut into a fraction va. tying a traditional knot would take. Combine these with a few guy line sliders, and the time it takes to have a weatherproof shelter strung up and anchored into the ground literally takes all of 2 minutes. There's nothing more tedious than having to rig and tie a minimum of 6 knots around a tarp while trying to get set up in the dark after trudging through the woods all day. These are a game changer and one of many reasons I love nite-ize products

Work great with 550 cord. They even held in pouring rain when the cold was wet

Tension on a camping tarp using 550 cord. Made for fast tightening and loosing of the tarp. Also negated the issue of knots that may not be easy to untie. It held great inline and also lashed to a tree.

One of my best purchases, ever!

I decided to try the Figure 9s when I was looking for a simpler, faster way to tighten para cord used for a rain fly. I researched these fully before I purchased them. Some Figure 9s are plastic and I wanted something more durable. These were the most affordable and highest quality I could find.

I used these last month when I went camping in New York. During the trip, I used a hammock with a tarp for a rainfly. The rainfly had 8 tie downs (two to the trees and six to the ground). Oh my gosh!!! The Figure 9s made it so easy. Once I got the hang of it, it took such a short time to set up. Adjustment was a breeze because I didn’t have to untangle knots I had tied poorly, and shortening or lengthening a line was a quick 2-second process. I used 4mm para cord and these fit perfectly. For easy travel, I put all of my Figure 9s on a jailers key ring along with the instructions for quick reference. (See photos)

It takes a little time to learn how to use them, but they come with illustrations to show you the two different ways to use them.

I can’t recommend these enough. I will never have to tie another knot.

Works great if you have the right diameter rope

This is a very handy gadget to quickly secure and tension a rope. I used it to position a shade sail. I suppose if I was more skilled with knots I would not need this. I have had the shade sail up for several weeks and everything has stayed in place and with proper tension. Pay attention to the diameter of rope that this works with (there are different sizes) before you purchase.

Simple and work great... what more do you want?

I have a small bag with some paracord and a small pile of these, and it has gotten me through lots of securing and tie-down situations. These are easy and simple to use, and work great. I used to use a variety of locking straps, but these plus some paracord works just as well and is much more flexible. If you work with paracord, IMHO you need some of these. (BTW, the small ones are REALLY tiny... I almost always use the big ones.)

Using for ridgeline and other rope things. On the ridgeline I put a few prusik knots then loop the rope tightener around these. When pulling a rope, mostly paracord or Bankline, through the prusik these takes the stress off the prusik and does not wear them down too quickly.

Per kit tenda in alluminio

Reviewed in Italy on May 30, 2021

Li ho presi insieme alla corda riflettente della stessa marca per usarli con la mia tenda da campeggio, tuttavia uno aveva una confezione diversa che vi mostro in foto ma non c’e’ da preoccuparsi, sono entrambe le versioni in alluminio, le ho pesate con una bilancia (9 gr) e sono identiche oltre al fatto che riportano lo stesso codice come dal sito ufficiale USA.

💡Nota molto importante: se preferite farvi un kit un po piu leggero con gli stessi ganci ma in plastica dura (peso 2 gr. Ciascuno) allora comprate il kit da 4 corde e ganci chiamato nite ize tent kit, altrimenti se li volete in alluminio dovete per forza di cose comprare questi ganci e la corda a parte. 💪🏻

I've had purchased some cheaper plastic version of these that are far from being as strong and solid as these ones. They are made in aluminum. Lightweight and sturdy.
