Tip of the Day #3 Bungee

Bungee cords, those wonderful stretchy cord with a hook on each end, ranks up there with duct tape as the solution to many problems.  They can, however, occasionally be the source of much frustration.

They are either too long (we can fix that) or too short.





When you buy Bungee cords, buy them a bit longer than you will need and put a half hitch around the hook as shown in the photos and pull it tight.  It is surprising how well this holds.

When the task is completed, just flick the loop up with your thumb and release the knot, ready to go again.

In case you were wondering, the black on my thumb nail is not the latest in nail fashion, but rather the result of hammer "A" striking thumb "B".
Hope you find this useful.
