Great Bungees; Great Packaging; But You Have to Treat the Carabiners with Care
I am very pleased with these bungees. The color coding makes it easy to select the right length. The zipper package keeps them neatly organized. The bungee cords are of good quality and provide the right tension to securely hold light-weight items. I took off one star because the carabiners are not as robust as the rest of the bungee. I broke the spring on the first one trying to attach it to an odd shaped hook. I've been more careful and have not broken any others, but everything else on the bungee is such high quality that the maker should provide better carabiners. That being said, the carabiners are easily replaced if they break, and these bungees otherwise so well fit my needs that I would readily buy them again.I use them on my drift boat to secure rods, boat bags, life vests, etc. I also use them to secure a tarp over the boat. They are great for this purpose and I really like that they can be put back in the packaging when not in use, and that I can readily grab the correct length for my needs. We just had a major thunderstorm roll by with micro-bursts and hail, and the bungees were flexible enough to give with the wind but secure enough to keep everything in place.A great product that could only be made better by using more robust carabiners.

Love the carabiners!
I have a weird phobia associated with bungee cords. I heard a story of a guy that was hooking up a bungee when the hook slipped off and caught him in the mouth like a fish and ripped his cheek open. I don't even know if the story is true or not but I hate using bungees because of it.With this set, I don't have to worry about that. The carabiner isn't going to come off like a hook might. This is especially true when connecting several lengths together. It is also much more effective when using the bungee in a loop.Some of the reviews mention weak carabiners. They seem like the same quality as the other non-climb rated carabiners that I have used the past. I used them this weekend to help hold my kayak in the back of my pickup and they seemed plenty sturdy. I will change my review in the future if that turns out to not be the case.

CRAP product carabiner
So I use bungee cords ever time I go on multiple tent camping or Truck exploring for rock hounding.These carabiners suck. the cords I was not overall impressed with. A few end broke ( hooks) but I think if you are not using them as harshly I was then a good value but do not count on carbiners at all.

holds weight pretty well.
what I liked best was the variety of bungees in the bag. the cords all seem to be very sturdy. the 2 I have from previous have been very useful and have held up even outdoors. I see no reason these won't be any different. I read some reviews that stated the biners were week so I tried to break them through hard use and they were just fine. I took 2 medium length and hung a 1/4 cord of oak of an a frame for about a day. sorta stretched em a bit but no damage. don't recommend that type of use but it worked.

They work fine for bungee cords. The carabiner clips on each end are a particularly nice feature.
They work fine for bungee cords. The carabiner clips on each end are a particularly nice feature. I tried using them to hold two kayaks on my roof rack. That was a bad idea. I nearly lost the kayaks on the highway. The wind force caused the bungee cords to stretch and the kayaks ended up on my trunk lid. You should use nylon straps (with very little stretch) for anything subject to a significant wind load. They may work fine objects that present less profile to the wind.

Well made
I thought I would like the clips much more than I did. Sometimes they are just in the way and difficult to anchor. Bungee material and carbinger clips are made of good material. We found ways to use them and they we useful in most situations. Did not return.

Great for connecting tubes when floating the river!
Great cords! The clasps are very convenient and secure. I personally used them to connect several floats for floating down the river, they’re perfect since in some areas you can’t be connected in one big clump. One of the claps broke, but we were quite rough on them.

Look like good quality and worked perfectly for strapping my drift ...
Look like good quality and worked perfectly for strapping my drift boat cover down. Only 4 stars because I don't know yet how long they last, but if they last in the elements, I'll give them 5 stars.
