Is this "SHOCK CORD" the same as a BUNGEE CORD ? if yes, then why not call it Bungee cord?

A typical 'Bungee Cord' may be of varying lengths and thicknesses, and quality. This shock cord seems to be of a higher quality that what I have seen for most 'bungee cords'. So think of this as a high quality bungee cord, of a particular thickness, in bulk (comes on a roll).

As I understand it, 'Bungee Cord' is more-or-less a trade name for a particular product that is universally used for many similar products. i.e. a 3 foot cord with hooks on each end. However 'shock cord' is a more descriptive title of the cord itself, and it can be used to make many other products including 'Bungee Cords'. In essence, the shock cord is the bulk cord before anything is attached to it, or made from it. I used it to re-string some camping chairs, and to make tie-downs for an RV awning screen. Plus I have made several custom 'bungee cords' that suit my particular needs.

No. It is not designed or rated for shock loading. You need a device that is designed, tested, and rated for the specific application and has an ANSI rating that meets or exceeds OSHA requirements.

It should, but for safety I would go the hardware store and get some 1/2'' nylon braded rope. The para cord is good for tarps tent lines etc, it has a 500lb test, sounds like a lot but if you weigh 180 and hop in a chair you exceed that easily.

There are two hooks on each side that hold the bungee cord, so you do not have to knot the end of the cord. I usually do not knot the cord, as that way the cord is adjustable.

No, not at all. It's EXTREMELY durable and is reinforced in high wear areas. I highly recommend this cord.

Um, I don't know. Does not seem any different than any other thin cord I have.

Hello Ash, Thank you for your inquiry. It really is up to you, if you want to use something a little heavier depending on the project this is the Elastic Cord to use. Also it is easier to tie this one at the end into a knot. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Kind Regards, Elsie Customer Service Representative S&S Worldwide

It's definitely not a tie cord. I don't remember. I think it's long enough to pull over the head without undoing it. You might want to check with the seller.

Negative. It works just as well as an expensive brand name cord. The picture quality is great and the cord is very sturdy.

I have used this to replace the shock cord in my tent poles and they work great! I have only used about 100 of the 1000 feet so far, so I do not know if it is one piece or not. I'm not going to unravel it to find out. I have read in the comments that it was four 250 foot pieces but this does not bother me since tent poles are usually not longer than 15 to 20 feet. Well worth the price. Get it!

The elastic cord just slips through an opening, then goes around a "clamp arm" that hold it. We just seared the ends of bungee to prevent fraying, no knots needed ( but you could put in a knot). Has worked well for us, as straight and looped bungees for a tarp.

Yes. It is what I am using. I like the string. It will not runaway anymore.

Dear Amazon Friend, YES ! My cord is certainly a Twist-lock connecting cord. It twist locks onto my generator and it twist locks onto my house mounted service box. Both ends. Not sure why it doesn't specify on this cord ? It is my understanding that all of these types of cords are a TWIST TYPE. But maybe I think that because all cords like this I've ever seen, did use a twist type locking end. Extra side note: This is a heavy duty, top quality made cord. Thick and strong, yet stays flexible in bad weather. I use this 40' cord when the weather is good but the storm has knocked me out. I leave the generator outside. When the weather is bad, like a long term hurricane situation with heavy downpours, I attach another 10' cord to this 40' cord and can then keep my generator under the cover of my carport. This brand cord works so well, I have no problem with the connection between the 2 cords either. They twist easily into each other and seal out the rain. Yes I do like this cord, and I'm picky and checked out many before making my purchase. Good Luck.

I am responding but I am not the company, I bought this cord. I felt like it did break pretty quickly and I was planning to order a stronger one.

It's been a while, but if this is what I bought, I feel that it was specifically for the steering stabilizer. As I recall, there was only one in the box, which would make sense since there was only one steering stabilizer shock - which looks similar to a regular shock absorber, but I can't say about the size matching any regular shock. PS, they also c0me in colors, but maybe another supplier and a slightly different number (I wanted black, so it did not matter to me)

it is mis leading advertising as a "cord" but it is actually a "tape" and i wanted a cord. i used a cord with my labs for 14 yrs and never had an issue. i have already gone thru 2 tapes with my german shephard puppy ( 4mths and 50 lbs) .. if this messes up it's going back.. the header should not read cord for large dogs....

Btw, they are both one and the same, I've only used mine with the cord and love it..
