E-Z-TY Reusable Rope Clamp - Heavy Duty Adjustable Cord Lock for Camping, Hiking, Boating & Outdoor Gear Organization

just what i need for my anchor rope on small rowboat...These rope clamps were easy and secure way to hold the ropes on my twin size swinging bed . We tried tying them but it was so hard to get them even and neat. These were easy to use and came is several colors. My swing is white and we used white and it looks amazing. And if the ropes stretch we can easily reposition them.This is a well made clamp. I would caution that though it says for 1/2 inch rope, some 1/2 inch rope may be slightly thicker that 1/2 inch. That could make it hard to use the clamp on that rope without some effort in fitting the rope. I have seen other 1/2 rope that would work easier.The clamp is very sturdy, well made, and strong.Like everything about the product. They have the best customer service I have ever had to contact. Absolutely ? awesomeDid not use - wrong size.Appeared to be a good quality product.no matter what knot you use with thick rope, it always gets undone, etc. This is so neat and tidy and stronger than any knot. Every time I use rope knots they fail. This has never failed regardless of load. Can be difficult to install because so tight, for larger sizes above 3/8" I learned to order the next bigger clamp size than the rope size as it was impossible to fit the rope entirely in the clamp. Professional results. Amazed why you can't find this in any marine or other stores.I gave this product only 3 stars.1) I purchased a 3/8"clamp for a 3/8" rope, it didn't fit.2) the item isn't cheap and the shipping was expensive too.To be fair, the product looks like it will work. I didn't return the two i bought because i don't have the time to be wasting on such a small item. I was contacted by the seller who apologized and told me rope is tricky in its sizing. I don't feel bad about leaving this review because I was fine with the correspondent from the seller and I had no intentions of going any further, but since you asked for my honest opinion, well you got it! Morale of the story, yup....be careful what you ask for, because you might get it.All it takes is losing a brand new 100# river anchor to a factory tied rope coming untied in the water to really appreciate this little piece of plastic. That is exactly what happened to us, and the reason we looked for a solution. At first we had doubts on if this plastic clamp would do the job, so we tried it in fairly shallow water a few times to make sure, and it did! Since then it has held the rope beautifully and we no longer worry about losing the anchor. It was a little hard to screw the two piece part together, but accomplishable. We use this clamp with a buoy anchor system, would definitely purchase again, and will continue to recommend it to all our boater friends.
