Best Bungee Cord Reviews 2018

Our next product comes from a rather young company, founded just last year, specializing in home, automotive and consumer electronics, space management, and helpful gadgets. It may be young, but the people at Fortem realize what customers need and want, and how to deliver high-quality products to their customers. Fortem is looking to excel at everything they do, and we expect to see them grow and expand in the coming years.

The product we’re going to review today is more comprehensive than most on the list. Instead of buying just one type of cord, Fortem decided that’s not enough, so they made a whole set, all packed in a nice little bag. This set features 24 pieces of cord, with straps, hooks, nets and everything you need in any situation. The cords are all pretty heavy-duty, packed in a durable bag that can endure a long service life.

One of the best things about these bungee cords is the UV resistant coating that extends to hooks too. The hooks are extremely useful if you want to secure your baggage on the top of your car or make bungee storage for your kayak. The hooks also have steel cores in order to be more secure and not snap under the strain of the cargo. All Fortem products come with a lifetime warranty, so you can get your money back if you end up not liking the product.

And here’s the list of features for this product.

• Heavy duty bag
• Very versatile
• UV and weather-resistant coating
• Plastic hooks with steel cores
• A wide variety of cords
• Lifetime warranty
• Bungee mesh

In the end, this is one of the best products on our list. Its versatility is amazing, and we are truly thankful to Fortem for coming up with this concept. To top it all, a lifetime warranty is a great way to keep customers happy with your products.

Coming up next is a product from Kotap. This company is a major retailer and distributor of garden and lawn hardware, plus a very big polyethylene products distributor. It’s been doing this since 1982, building plenty of experience and know-how in order to make superb products. Quality control is no issue with Kotap, and all their products are rigorously tested.

The product we have for you today is slightly different than what you’d expect. Their BB-6B bungee cords are small auxiliary cords used to secure tarps to canopies. They're also useful for other parts of a tent, and they're particularly useful for grommets, as they prolong their service life. The bungee cords are all 6 inches long but can stretch to 8.5 inches if need be. They're fitted with small balls at the end of the rope in order to make them easier to tie down.

The cord is made of nylon and very strong and sturdy. It’s treated to be resistant to UV light, mildew and abrasion – all common problems a bungee cord will face during its service life. The cords are 1/5-inch in diameter, with the ball being 1-inch in diameter. A single pack will contain 8 cords.

As usual, a short list of features of the product.

• Balls for easier tying down
• 6 inches in length
• Stretches to 8.5 inches
• Nylon make
• Resistant to UV, mildew and abrasion
• 1/5-inch diameter

The Kotap BB-6B is one of the most versatile auxiliary cords if your main ones snapped on your tent. It’s affordable and the application is near infinite, despite the small size.

Paracord Planet is a retailer and manufacturer of all manner of bungee cords, and a go-to place to go if you’re in need of one. Located in Fargo, North Dakota, they have a very strict quality check, with their employers hand-testing every product. Bungee cords are incredibly versatile, and any DIY enthusiast should head on down to Paracord Planet and get hold of a couple of cords.

As we said, bungee cords are incredibly versatile. With a few of Paracord Planet’s cords, you will be able to build pretty much anything, from straps, over cargo nets, hammocks and other stuff you may need. The ropes are coated with a 100% nylon jacket. Nylon is resistant to direct sunlight and mildew, strong against abrasion, and hard to tear, giving this rope a wonderful amount of ruggedness.

Planet cord bungee cords also come in many colors. Black, purple, green, brown and dark blue are just some of them. When it comes to price, they’re not the cheapest, but they still have manageable prices. The cords are all made in the USA, so you can rest assured the cords are inspected thoroughly and according to the highest quality and safety standards. It should be noted that these cords don’t come with a hook, so you’ll have to buy that elsewhere if your are making your own "bungee cords" rather than crafting with them or using them as a versatile bungee style rope for securing items. Available in a variety of sizes from 10 to 100 feet.

These cords are made in the USA and are rigorously tested for quality and defects. You can trust them to absorb shock, and they have a a tensile strength of approximately 210 pounds. All in all, Paracord Planet’s bungee ropes are excellent additions to anyone’s tool box. Paracord Planet pride themselves on excellent products, and they will settle on nothing less than perfection.

Our penultimate product comes from a firm that you may not immediately associate with bungee cords or products of that kind. We're talking about Master Lock, a company founded in 1921 and, as its name suggests, concentrated on creating padlocks. Master Lock is a very prominent company in that field, and one that has an array of superb products, but, safety products being a primary concern, it’s also created bungee cords alongside padlocks.

The product we're talking about today is the 3039DAT 6-pack of bungee cords. These cords possess incredible tensile strength and excellent elasticity. They can stretch from 6 inches to almost 40 inches without any problems. On top of that, they’re very strong and resistant to harsh weather conditions, as well as UV light – a known problem for bungee cords.

The cords also feature two hooks – one on the front and one on the back – with one being reversed. This allows for a more secure attachment when it's time to buckle down. The hooks are similar to those of Fortem bungees because they have a steel core inside a plastic coat. Needless to say, there’s no limit to what these cords can do, and they're useful in a wide variety of situations.

And here’s a shortened list of features for your reading convenience:

• Extremely elastic and strong
• Two steel-cored hooks
• One hooks is reversed
• 6 pieces in a pack
• UV and weather-resistant

All in all, working with Master Lock bungee cords is a blast, and you can really see that a lot of thought has been put into them. Master Lock may not specialize in these kinds of products, but they can sure make them.

Last, but certainly not least, is Keeper. This company is about the most trustworthy on our list where bungee cords are concerned. Keeper has 36 years of experience creating superb quality cargo control products, such as tie-downs, bungees, truck accessories, electric winches and a bunch of other similar products. It’s constantly looking to improve designs, which has helped build a great, trusted reputation.

The 06052 10’’ bungee cord is one of the best mini products on our list. The cord is protected by a premium grade outer jacket that’s both UV and weather-resistant, ensuring the rope keeps your cargo in check. The cord is perfect for home and workshop use and is great for camping. It features double steel hooks so you can secure the cord and buckle down.

When it comes to the inner core of the product, you're looking at a highly durable rubber. This allows the cord to be very stretchy and strong. The cords are painted in very visible colors so you can spot them better and even color-code your cargo. These bungees come in a pack of 8. And the best thing? The pack is very cheap.

Again, here’s a list of features:

• Double steel hooks
• A pack of 8 cords
• High-quality materials
• UV and weather-resistant jacket
• Very affordable

In the end, Keeper is a company you can really trust, with products made to facilitate safe handling of cargo. Being affordable is also a plus!
