It says these are "closed-eyed", will I not be able to thread through the eye, and instead have to use a "wrap around" knot to tie the hook?

I don't know why they use that description, but, yes, you can thread through the eye......no problem....I wasn't even aware that they made any other kind...

"closed eye" means that the wire is welded together, forming a permanent loop thru which you will tie on just like normal, only with the closed loop, your line can never slip out of the small gap present on most hooks.

There is an opening so that you can thread directly through the hook, and they are very sharp and very dependable. I really like them.

Thread it like the eye of a needle. I believe the "closed eye" reference means that the 'eye' loop is a complete loop - not a partial loop.

Paracord for sure. Met someone once with an eyepatch; he forgot that hooks adorn the ends of those stretchy rubber tie-downs, and there's no better way to make an accidental slingshot guaranteed to aim for your face when they break or even slip. Climbing ropes also work fine, if looped through every grommet eyehole in the front end of the tarp. For luck, all of them around the perimeter next. Then, a bed-sized X of rope over the tarped 'n tied load, and you're done. Won't fly off and blind tailgaters, who will doubtless sue you for THEIR stupidity and call it YOUR negligence.

When you cut the cord, seal it with heat. If you are wanting to create a loop without using a huge knot, you have two options. One... Using a heavy NYLON threaded needle, simply push the needle/thread back and forth through the two pieces of cord until sufficiently secure, then do a nice aesthetic wrap to cover the loose end of the loop. or two... make your loop, stretch it as tight as possible and tightly wrap a stiff wire around both pieces of cord ( for an example of this, see how they secure the ends of bungee straps with the hook ends used for securing cargo). Hope this helps!

Hello it took awhile to do so and when I finally did I took some candy ties and tied them into groups so they wouldn't tangle again. But I had to send them back because after I did all that unwrapping and hung them up multiple lights wouldn't even work. Those lights was a waist of my time. Never had a chance to use them.

Yes, they are larger which for an open space won't make any difference but if you are trying to secure something on, say, your motorcycle and the gap between a couple of surfaces is tight, these hooks may not fit.Said another way: These hooks are formed as opposed to the plastic-dipped metal hooks we have all been 'historically' using. Where the real value comes using the CamLok tie downs is the ability to be able to adjust the overall length to an exact fit. For that aspect alone I recommend them.

I dont think you could tie any knots with them on but using rod and reel should be no problem. They do keep you dry and are pretty warm.

They are stout. They'll probably work with any heavy duty eye hook. Fitting into a bolt hole, not so much. Very long straps, with a loop sewn in one end.

There is a metal ring in each corner. So it's certainly possible to simply tie directly to those; however a fastener kits with clips and a tensioner makes it a much much easier install. It's all about convenience. If you're putting it up in a permanent location, with never an intention to move it or take it down and put back up (and you're good with knots), then I might just tie off directly, but if it's seasonal or you'll want to take it down on occasion, I'd invest $10-20 in the fasteners.

You have to wrap them around a strong point of what you're strapping down by putting one end of strap through the opposite loop so it tightens. Then you use rachet straps from the loop to the vehicle. Basically these are used so you dont put metal hook from rachet strap directly to item.

I drilled a hole in a substantial branch and used the eye hook provided.... I then used some liquid tree repair around the hole to be sure the tree stayed healthy at the drill spot ... What is harmful to a tree is to wrap or tie rope around branches; this chokes the branch off from the rest of the tree....

You would have to use a needle to put them on the yarn. Using thread would be easier.

Hi, you want to keep them together as a bundle. you can tie them with anything really, I used a decorative tie and they look really nice. Hope this answers your question. Enjoy them they are awesome, mine have gotten really big just after a few months.

They do not have a handel tie, just straight across. This is not an issue for my wife, 11 yo son or myself to tie them into a knot. I think it is better seal, so less smell. Our dog is only 45 lbs so her waste is to huge. HTH

Absolutely. U should be fine. Theyre probably about 8" stretched completely open. There is a thin rope that comes with the turnbuckles. We actually Didn't even use them. We got "s" hooks and used one turn buckle for the same reason. It worked perfectly.

I put an eye hook in the house and an eye hook in a pergola support about 20 ft away from the house. I attached rope to two corners(with a spring clip), fed through the eye hooks and down to a tie-down kleet at arm's reach. This way, I can hoist it up and down easily and clip and unclip easily. For the third side, I put an augor in the groundand attached the rope to it with a spring clip.

No, not unless you untied the knot---and I wouldn't recommend it! Of course, you could most likely use a longer string and lengthen it.

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID
