Stainless steel shock cord crimps are small but crucial components used in securing shock cord or bungee cord ends. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, these crimps are highly durable and ideal for outdoor or marine applications where exposure to moisture is common.
They feature a simple yet effective design, allowing users to clamp and secure the cord ends, preventing fraying and ensuring a tight hold. Stainless shock cord crimps find applications in a variety of fields, including camping, sailing, and industrial settings, where the reliability of cord fastening is essential for safety and functionality in challenging conditions.
How to use a stainless steel crimp, in three simple steps:
Take the end of the shock cord, and make a loop at the end of whatever size you require. You need to make the loop at least the length of the crimp, plus 1cm in order to create a strong clamp.
Place the crimp where you want to secure the cord, making sure there is at least 3mm from the very end of the cord and the top of the crimp.
Squeeze closed the crimp, placing enough pressure to ensure the clamp presses tightly down onto the cord until the open ends of the crimp are touching. You can also use pliers to close the crimp.
