Comments about Nite Ize Figure 9 Rope Tightener - Single Large:
The problem with some of the best knots is having to untie them, especially if they have jammed. This ingenious device eliminates that.
It is not fair to say this device eliminates knots in its usage as it is a good idea to tie a couple of half hitches to keep the rope end turned down. But the half hitches can be tied loosely and are a breeze to untie because they haven't been loaded.
The Figure 9 works best with ropes with a bit of stretch. Most nylon rope qualifies. I have tested it with several trailer loads of "stuff" but I would like to have a little bit more experience before raving anymore about it.
The small Figure 9's seem like the would make excellent tent line tighteners.

Comments about Nite Ize Figure 9 Rope Tightener - Single Large:
I used these on my last camping trip. I followed the instructions on how to route the cables around them and worked great to make my tent extra taught.
It got a little windy and I thought for sure they would come undone. Nope, not one bit. And since they weigh nothing, it's a no-brainer to take a few if you think you may need them.. You'll just need to use them a few times so you get the cable-routing down. Excellent investment.

I use the tiny version to secure my rainfly when I need to lash two pieces of rope or 550 cord. This little gadget makes it easy to run lines in and around the campsite.
