    Introducing Cord Claws

    Hey all! After much work, on many fronts, Cord Claws are here. Use them for your tarp ridgeline, use them for your tarp tie-outs, use them to hang your pack, just use them!! They were designed by me to work with the 1.75mm dyneema lines (Zing-It, Lash-It, etc.) but will work with lines from 1.2mm up to 1.8mm. Videos will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, here are a few pictures of them in action.

    looks cool. Looking forward to a video review of the product.

    Without seeing a video of how they work, it appears that once tension is removed from the line the Claws will not hold - thus leaving your tarp free moving on the CRL, is that the case?

    I recently switched to a tarp connector in lieu of my beloved prusiks and while I find them easier to use/adjust/work with - my biggest annoyance is that once the line is released, the connectors dont hold the tarp in place anymore. This causes the tarp to bunch and move along my CRL sometimes when not hung.

    In theory yes, they are free moving, but in practice, they probably won't move much. Because of the cam action, it doesn't slide on its own very easily.
