Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Lock 3039DAT CamLok Adjustable Steel Cord Bungee Cord
Customer Review: Adjustable lenght design is a winner.
Summary: 5 Stars
This bungee cord is special due to its adjustability. One of the end hooks is fixed, the other can be positioned anywhere along the stretch cord to effectively change the cord length. The cam-like design works beautifully and it allows rapid adjustments so the cord always provides just the right amount of tension.
July 25, 2009 update:
I've used this cord to strap boxes and painting supplies to a rolling cart. At first I didn't fully trust the mechanism, so I'd use an extra, traditional bungee cord, as well. Lately, after almost a year of use, I fully trust the Master Lock Adjustable cord and have stopped using the other, redundant, cord. The cam design does not slip, even with the vibration of rolling the cart for miles over bumpy streets! After a year of very heavy use, the stretch cord is showing some signs of wear, but the plastic hooks and cam mechanism are fine. It still works perfectly and I've just ordered another two because I like this product so much.
Customer Review: You must STRETCH it some to work it
Summary: 4 Stars
The third hardware store guy figured out for me how to use it. No MasterLock instruction or good picture as to how to work it. It seems that the tension of the cord "in use" creates the pressure on the other end of the cam upside down semi-circle to hold the cord in place. My confusion arose because this cord is not an "at rest" clamp method: No tension means cord just slides through all the way to end. Several hardware store people and me could not figure out how to work it since it was not stretched. Thus, know that you have to have it STRETCHED some to generate the pressure needed to keep the cord jammed "shorter" by the Cam Lock.
Customer Review: Not stretchy enough
Summary: 4 Stars
This bungee cord seems to be well-build and is very easy to adjust, so it would work well for a lot of applications. However, it does not stretch as much as I would like for the travel cart I bought it for. If you are looking to use this because you need a firm cord, this will be perfect (keeping the trunk to a car closed around an oversized item, etc). If you need more give in it, another type of bungee might be better.Customer Review: Good but short
Summary: 2 Stars
The product looks and feels sturdy and the adjusting mechanism is great. Only problem, there's no need to adjust! the length is short. Yeah, I know I should have looked closely at the specs but what do you expect from measurements given in inches and mm for the same product and different dimensions. There's also practically no stretch to it. Either look for something else or get 2 of them.Customer Review: Camlok really locks...
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this item for use with a hand cart. I bungee my dive equipment to the cart. The Bungee itself is adjustable which is the primary reason I purchased it. The ends are a very durable plastic. The Bungee itself is very strong and has a lot of stretch. Really secures my equipment to the cart and prevents things from falling.
