 Clever Design!!Mar 17, 2010
By Joe
Nice little accessory, Instructions are cast into the product though you need good vision with the small size Figure 9.
Perfect for adjusting the taughtness of your tent if it does not have good adjusters. Way ahead of the usual string with plastic adjusters on some less expensive tents. Also ideal for usage with tarps, Tie off your tarp guylines incorporating the Figure 9's in the line and adjust away. No more trying to pull the ropes tight, maintain tension and tie them off without loosing taughtness.
Very clever product, I wish I had these for all of my camping trips over the past 25 years.
Worth every penny!!

knots are overrated :)Mar 03, 2011
By solocanoe
I'm tired, it's dark, and I've got to hang the tarp over the hammock...
no need for knots anymore after these little beauties! They are small and light, but easy to use, even with gloves on...and even in the dark!
Zero slippage too - high wind and rain...zero slippage. great idea - glad I found 'em!

Quick & Handy... A bit smaller than thoughtOct 13, 2009
By Some Guy
I anchor and lash stuff down, pretty regularly. I use to make my own "quick fix" ones, so having these, cheaper than if you paid the "full price", are great to have around! The carabiner style "small" is a bit larger than this style's "small". This one I would say use for tent tie-outs, and it helped me keep my "plant press" clamped, for college. Definitely only up to "Hiking boot shoe lace", at best. The carabiner style may take 2 mm thicker line, but is about a 1/3 bigger in over-all size. These are like 50 cent pieces in your pocket. Watch your sizes with the "Figure 9s" and definitely handy for utilizing regularly. I have 2 XLs(this style), 3 large (carabiner), 5 small (carabiner), & 10 small (this style), mostly used with a couple back-ups.

Very slickSep 10, 2009

These light weight Figure 9's work perfectly, I used them to hold up a sun shade canopy and had excellent results. Very simple to use and they are even easier to take down at the end of the camp. They go with me everywhere now.
Makes setting up your tent a no brainer!Dec 19, 2011

These small aluminum Figure 9s are awesome for keeping your guy lines taut after staking out your tent. I use these in conjunction with reflective cord and Nite Ize Knot Bones for quick and easy set up and break down of my tent without having to tie any knots. I use the Knot Bones in place of a knot to anchor the line to the guy out loops on my tent and rainfly, and I use the Figure 9s to keep the line taut and adjust as necessary. When it's time to pack up the tent, I just undo the Knot Bone from the tent's anchor loops, loosen the Figure 9 to undo the guy line from the stake and then wrap each line separately around cardboard with the Knot Bones still attached. This way everything is all ready to go for the next camping trip.
As another reviewer mentioned, this shouldn't be a replacement for learning how to tie a simple knot, but it sure as hell makes tent set up and break down SO much quicker and easier! Also great for tarps, hammocks, and hanging bear bags...I recommend this product to everyone I know!
