            Comments about Nite Ize Figure 9 Rope Tightener - Single Small:

            I'm not a knot person, so I decided to try these out. What a neat little gadget! The alligator end accepts a rope quite simply, and allows you to cinch it down to achieve tension. The other end attaches a loose end of rope using a different method, or it can attach mid-span by pulling a loop of rope through. There are many ways to deploy this device, the included instructions show a few variations.

            Best part, no struggling to untie knots! This works great for setting up a clothesline in camp or cinching guy out lines on a tent or tarp.

            Price and weight are negligible for the utility.

                My first experience with these was with a tarp shelter in the Nevada desert. The tighteners made it very easy to get the rope tensions just right, and they held tight through extremely high winds.

                  if you are a "knot nazi" then you don't need this. however if you don't mind some help when it comes to knots and lashing then you will love this. it makes setting up your rain/dining fly so easy.
