Nite Ize CamJam XT Aluminum Rope Tightener, Large - Versatile Tie Down Cam Mechanism with Carabiner Clip - Secure Hiking Gear Essential - Rope Tie Down Accessory - Large, Black

I've only had a chance to do some basic tests with this but the cam on here is strong. It really does hold the rope in there VERY tight and is super simple to use. Looking forward to when I actually need to use this thing.

works great. good build quality at a fair price. easy to use and small profile makes it worth keeping around for securing items

I have a bunch of the lighter version of the product, made of some plastic composite, that I have permanently attached to a bunch of guy lines for tents and rain/shade flys. This one is going to live on a 40-foot rapid-deployment tarp ridgeline that’s made with 750-pound test paracord, but the tension on that line is never going to get anywhere near the rated failure load for this device, let alone for the line itself. One thing I like about the whole system is that if you have them pre-installed on a length of line with a fixed loop at one end and a stopper knot at the other end, you can tension the line in pitch darkness, just by feeling which side the stopper knot is on. Hook the CamJam into a grommet, a D-ring, a Prusik loop, a webbing loop, or whatever, feel for the knot, and just pull your line until it’s as tight as you want it. Your line is oriented just right for where it needs to be to get fixed by the cam. Takes less time to do than it just did for me to write this.

Not as great as I thought it would be. It does work but it doesn’t get as tight as I would like. So it will not take the place of a ratchet strap. I keep it with some 1/4” rope and assorted ratchet straps in a bag in my truck. I got it for my new truck in case I need to tie something in the bed. If I’m going to be hauling or carrying anything I would use the old truck with all the gear for that. We were out one day and the wife pickup some things from a resale shop so that was a good time to try it. I ended up tying 2 loops in the rope and putting a heavy duty zip tie in them to tighten it up. I’ll keep it but doubt I actually use it much. I could see using it while camping to secure a tarp that’s used over head.

These are great...maybe a little expensive but better than tying knots all the time. I anchor my moderate truckloads with them and they hold great. I will use them camping and around the house for many things. Seem well built and strong enough for most tasks...camping, moving, hauling, and anchoring.

Fantastic item, I have used them to secure large heavy items to a hand-truck, camping, hammocks, tarps, tents, securing kayaks to vehicles - I have never had a problem or any issues. As far as uses, they're only as limited as the imagination. It is a gadget, and it has multiple, multiple uses.

The product delivered was exactly what I expected based on the description. It meets our needs perfectly. Have not seen anything else online similar to this.

I imagine not everyone’s setup for vehicle transporting of canoes is exactly the same, but these seamlessly fit into mine and shaved some previous time off my loading/unloading routines. I’m canoeing with a toddler so every second counts! More time I can focus on what he’s up to and less time hassling with bow and stern lines! Held up so far for a few trips with my 3 person canoe on the roof of our Ford Expedition, traveling at 70mph for extended periods covering a couple hundred miles at this point without any failures or even slippage. Solid product glad I have them!
