Great all-around tool

Ball bungees are an elegant, inexpensive, and easy-to-use tool for wrapping cords, ratchet straps, and other ungainly materials in your house and garage. They also give you a loop anywhere you have a hole, which makes them perfect for tying up tarps. The Kotap ball bungees are strong and flexible. I use them for organizing electric cords and ratchet straps in my garage. They're much less expensive than velcro or wire wraps. When in doubt, order longer bungee straps. The 6-inch straps will work fine for securing tarps or boards, but it's hard to wrap them around cords or cables.

Atv tool rack replacement straps / baby proofers

Perfect and much longer lasting than name brand rubber ones. Currently securely retaining a shovel. Also used for securing tarp to bottom of tent and tent to stakes. They're awesome. They're super useful for baby proofing your house. Buy a bag of them you'll find 200 uses before you know it too!

The price is awesome to keep a bag on hand for any projects ...

I've bought several packages of these, in 6 inch, 9 inch, 12 inch. I've used them on bikes, soccer goals, sports equipment, bundles of wood, trees to their supporting poles, lawn furniture, moving items in a truck, camping. I have friends who see them and "borrow". The price is awesome to keep a bag on hand for any projects or unexpected uses. They last fairly well in the weather, but they will start to break down after spending some time out in the sun. I've replaced some that have broken down but it's expected with bungee cord.

Many people remarked on how great they are for cable management

There are already plenty of reviews for this simple product but I wanted to share my creative use for them. Many people remarked on how great they are for cable management. And, they really are. Get a few different lengths of them. But if you are a cube-dweller like me (someone who works in an office cubicle) I use these to keep all the cables and cords from tangling around my feet under the desk. See my picture for an illustration. Basically I take one of them from the top of the desk and fish the bungee portion between the desk and the wall so the "tail" is below the desk. Then under the desk I take a second one and cinch the wires with the loop Then I take the ball and attach it to the hanging loop from the one above. The only thing visible above the desk is a little black ball. No zip ties or expensive modifications required. A simple, effective solution for wire management in your cubicle (or anywhere else).

Best quality.

We have used these in the past and they have proved to be excellent. Used to hold a canopy top to a modular frame, they withstand wind, rain, snow, and year around weather conditions. After 2 years, some of the ball bungees need replacing due to the weather. Loss of elasticity is the primary reason for the need to replace. It takes only a few moments to remove the older bungees and slip in the new, and we are set for another couple of years. We could not do without these.

Just buy and stretch a few, you'll be happy.

Originally bought these a couple of years ago to secure items that do not pack well into a moving truck (e.g. garden tools with long handles). Wow, nothing beats these for that. Stack a few shovels together and stretch one bungee ball around each handle end (down by the metal and up where you hold it). Like a tight package, nothing scrambles and you can grab a bundle of tools with one hand. Works best for the same tool (separate bundles of rakes, shovels, etc.) Even if you have a box that can hold those long tools, the bundle is much better than a tangled mess of wandering garden rakes. It's not the rake's fault - it's just doing what it's supposed to do... I also secured just about anything that was long and likely to cause packing problems, like curtain rods. And the longer bungee balls were great to strap the long bundles to the moving van wall rails. How much do they stretch? 50% more without looking too stressed out. I stretched some quite a bit more, although getting those unhooked was tedious and a little dangerous because they can fly off into your hands, or your face, or onto your roof if you are outside (that only gets dangerous when you have to go get it.) So the move was done and I had all these things in a box. So you go looking for anything that needs to be secured. I used them all in a few days, like many other reviews have said. Best is for tool power cords: make a half dozen small coils with the power cord, wrap it with the bungee and wrap it through the tool handle. No tangled mess with cords, safe transport to and from jobs also. Second best is long extension cords: coil the power cord to whatever loop size you want and wrap a bungee ball around all the coils. Hang the cord or just toss it anywhere - it'll stay coiled. Third best is keeping anything where you want it : keeping a door open on a windy day, stabilizing a stack napkins on a picnic table, wrangling a pile of white board markers for travel. After two years of knocking these about, not one has failed or shows any wear. Much better than any other stretchy product I've used.

just as advertised

Heavy duty, perfect for my outdoor screen

Good quality - beware of cheaper brands - these hold up well

I drew up plans to build a small 8X10 sun shade area to use my table saw and compound miter saw without the blazing hot sun cooking my melon. It was 122 degrees here last week and we haven't seen a day below 100 degrees in over a month. What started as an 8X10 somehow morphed into a 16X20 monstrosity. Had to order two more packs of these. I tried other brands that offer a 100 pack for less than $20 but they were poor quality and either the bungee snapped or had little stretch and just wouldn't work. These Kotap brands bungee balls are better quality and cheaper than the ones I got from that Harbor store.
