Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the safe working load for these bungee cords?

The safe working load is rated at 30kg, but this excludes the 4.5mm x 25cm size, which has no specific rating and should only be used for very light securing.

What sizes are included in the mixed pack?

The pack includes 4 cords of 4.5mm x 25cm, 2 cords of 8.0mm x 60cm, and 2 cords of 8.0mm x 80cm.

Are these bungee cords suitable for heavy-duty applications?

No, these bungee cords are specifically designed for securing light loads. For heavier items, you would need a more robust strapping or tie-down solution.

Can I use these bungee cords in wet conditions?

While they can be used in damp conditions, it's best to dry them thoroughly after use and store them in a dry place to prevent material degradation and potential rust on the hooks.

What does BS AU 258:1995 approval mean?

This approval indicates that the bungee cords (excluding the 4.5mm x 25cm size) meet specific British Standards for quality and safety for this type of product.

How should I store my bungee cords?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them under tension, as this can permanently weaken the elastic material.

Troubleshooting

Bungee cord not holding tension

Check if the correct length and diameter cord is being used for the load. Ensure anchor points are secure and appropriately spaced. Inspect the cord for damage or excessive stretching.

Hook is difficult to attach

Ensure the anchor point is suitable. If the hook is stiff, try flexing it gently. Avoid forcing the hook, as this could damage the anchor point or the hook itself.

Elasticity seems reduced

Bungee cords degrade over time, especially with exposure to UV light and frequent use. If elasticity is significantly reduced, the cord should be replaced.

Cord appears frayed or damaged

Immediately discontinue use and replace the bungee cord. Damaged cords can break unexpectedly, leading to injury or loss of load security.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a variety of sizes for different tasks.
  • Meets recognized industry standards (BS AU 258:1995) for quality assurance.
  • Durable enough for general-purpose light load securing.
  • Color options can aid in organization.
  • Convenient mixed pack eliminates the need to buy individual sizes.

Cons

  • The smallest bungee cord (4.5mm x 25cm) has no rated safe working load.
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty applications or high-tension requirements.
  • Colors may vary within the pack, potentially limiting organizational use if specific colors are needed.
  • Limited to light load securing, requiring stronger solutions for heavier items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate bungee cord length and diameter for your load.
  2. Hook one end of the bungee cord to a secure anchor point.
  3. Stretch the cord over or around the item(s) to be secured.
  4. Hook the other end to a second secure anchor point, ensuring the load is taut but not over-stretched.

Compatibility:

  • These bungee cords are intended for light loads and should not be used for items exceeding their safe working load (where specified).
  • Ensure anchor points are sturdy and capable of withstanding the tension applied by the bungee cord.
  • Compatible with most general-purpose securing needs in automotive, home, and outdoor environments.

Care:

  • Inspect bungee cords regularly for signs of wear, such as fraying, cuts, or loss of elasticity.
  • Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can degrade the material.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
  • Do not store under tension.
