Spring Hook for Elastic Bungee Cord (6 mm & 8 mm) – Durable Universal Hook

The spring hook for elastic rope is a handy accessory that allows you to create and repair bungee-style tie-downs to suit your needs. No more improvising how to attach a shock cord to a hook point – with this hook, the process is quick and reliable. The hook is made of high-strength metal and features a spring-loaded latch that automatically closes the opening and holds securely. This means even under tension and vibration, the cord won’t slip off the hook – perfect when transporting gear or keeping covers taut in the wind.

Attaching the hook to your shock cord is simple: pass the end of the elastic cord through the special hole at the base of the hook, tie a figure-eight knot (or other stopper knot) at the end, then pull the cord firmly back until the knot snugs into the internal chamber of the hook. This design ensures the knot hides inside the hook’s body and doesn’t protrude – it also prevents the cord from pulling back out. The entire installation takes seconds and requires no extra clips or tools. The result is a neat connection, with the knot protected inside the hook.

The hook comes in two sizes corresponding to the most common bungee cord diameters:

• Code 03344-6 – for 6 mm cord: This smaller version is ideal for thin shock cords used in e.g. cargo nets, tents, camping gear, or light-duty lashings. The hook is compact and lightweight yet strong – it accommodates the knot of a 6 mm cord comfortably inside. Use it to make your own elastic straps for securing small items on your boat or in your car trunk.
• Code 03344-8 – for 8 mm cord: The larger model is intended for standard heavy-duty bungee cords (8 mm) which provide greater tension. This is the typical size for boat and automotive tie-downs. The 8 mm hook withstands substantial force and is suitable for holding heavier loads, stretching tarps over boats or trailers, etc.

Both hooks are weather-resistant: the metal construction is galvanized or stainless (so it resists corrosion), and the spring mechanism is protected from moisture. They are designed for repeated use – you can move the hook from one cord to another or remove it when not needed and reuse it later. This makes them a cost-effective choice – with a set of hooks and a roll of shock cord, you can fabricate dozens of bungee tie-downs of any length you need.

The applications for these spring hooks are virtually endless: in the marine field, they’re great for tensioning a boat canopy or cover, attaching marker buoys or dive floats, and quickly rigging or striking canvas and covers. For camping – securing tarps, tents, banners. At home or work – strapping cargo to a car roof rack or bike rack, organizing items in a garage or on a trailer. Whenever you need to fasten or release something quickly with an elastic cord, these hooks are the right tool. They save you from tying knots that may jam and provide a more professional, tidy solution.

With spring hooks for bungees, you can easily replace worn-out or broken hooks on your old tie-down cords and give them new life. You gain the flexibility to customize the cord length and tension to the task at hand, while also having confidence that the hook won’t let you down – it will stay latched and secure until you decide to unhook it. It’s a small accessory that delivers big convenience for both casual boaters and professional adventurers alike.
