Carabiner Figure 9


Added to MyBoatsGear on 1/17/2010

Carabiner Figure 9Our Review
No need for that trucker hitch. The carabiner from Nite Ize is designed to let you adjust lines without tying knots. The carabiner hook lets you attach the figure 9 cleat to anything. To maintain the tension in a line, it passes around the forks to establish some friction and the toothed forks captures the line. Adjusting the tension in a line is easy.

I am sure many boaters can find a use for the figure 9 and @ $6 you would not be any poorer.

Nite Ize, Inc.'s Description
If you have ever had problems with losing tension in your rope while tying a knot, or wasted time untying a difficult knot, heres your hassle-free solution. Our innovative, patented Figure 9 tightens, tensions, and secures ropes without knots.

PRODUCT INFORMATIONThe Nite Ize Figure 9 makes tightening any line a stress-free task. From tying awkward objects to the back of a truck or vehicle to organizing tools or items in the gargage, this handy tool secures large loads quickly and keeps tension where you need it.
