Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Flat Bungee Cords in Yellow are designed for securely tying down items or bundling them together, ideal for home, workshop, garage, car, trailer, and caravan use. Their key benefit lies in their superior strength, being up to 3 times stronger than standard bungee cords, featuring super-strong steel hooks and a protective nylon coating. A potential caveat is the need to ensure the load capacity of the hooks is appropriate for the intended use, as they are robust but not indestructible.

FAQs

What makes these bungee cords stronger than standard ones?

They are constructed with a heavy-duty polypropylene braid and a high-grade rubber cord, providing up to 3 times more strength than standard bungee cords.

Will the steel hooks scratch my car or equipment?

No, the hooks are coated with a smooth nylon material specifically to prevent scratching delicate surfaces.

What types of surfaces can the hooks attach to?

The hooks are designed to attach to various anchor points such as tie-down rings, rails, and bars. The nylon coating is safe for most surfaces, including painted or polished finishes.

How should I clean the bungee cords?

Clean the cords with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Are these bungee cords suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are designed for various environments including outdoor use on vehicles and in workshops. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may degrade the material over time, so storage away from UV is recommended when not in use.

What is the standard they are tested to?

They are tested to EK5/AK8 11-01.1:2011 standards, ensuring their performance and reliability.

Can I use these for very heavy loads?

While they are significantly stronger than standard cords, it's important to assess the load's weight and shape against the cord's capacity. Use multiple cords for heavier items and ensure secure anchor points.

Troubleshooting

Bungee cord not holding tension

Ensure the rubber cord is not significantly degraded. Check that the hooks are properly engaged and that the load is not exceeding the cord's elasticity.

Hooks slipping from anchor points

Verify that the anchor points are secure and suitable for the hooks. Ensure the hooks are fully seated and that the tension applied is appropriate for the load.

Material appears worn or frayed

Discontinue use immediately and replace the bungee cord. Frayed or worn material indicates compromised strength and elasticity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly stronger than standard bungee cords for secure fastening.
  • Protective nylon coating on hooks prevents damage to surfaces.
  • Durable construction with heavy-duty materials and high-grade rubber.
  • Versatile for a wide range of applications in various environments.
  • Bright yellow color enhances visibility for safety and easy identification.

Cons

  • Steel hooks, while strong, may not be suitable for extremely heavy or delicate loads without careful assessment.
  • As with any bungee cord, prolonged exposure to UV light may degrade the material over time.
  • The flat design, while distributing pressure, might be less convenient for certain types of anchoring points compared to round cords.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply attach the steel hooks to suitable anchor points and stretch the bungee cord to secure your load. Ensure hooks are firmly seated before applying tension. Always use the appropriate number of cords for the weight and size of the item being secured.

Compatibility: These bungee cords are compatible with most standard tie-down points, racks, hooks, and bars found in cars, trailers, caravans, workshops, and homes. The nylon coating ensures compatibility with most surfaces, including painted or polished finishes.

Care: To maintain their performance, store the bungee cords in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners. Regularly inspect the cords and hooks for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage before each use. Replace if significant degradation is observed.
