USESMost uses are to add rope points to sheet-like materials which do not already have eyelets, for attaching ropes, bungy cords, etc> Use on any tarp or sheeting which does not have eyelets> Use on a tarp when the eyelets are spaced too far apart, or at inconvenient locations> Use plastic sheeting like a tarp to protect patio furniture, cars, etc.> Hang a wet rug or blanket to dry (but use lots of clips, or just use the clips to secure the rug, etc. to a drying frame)> Hang greenhouse sun screening to protect plants from direct sunlight or wind> Hang temporary signs printed on plastic sheeting or painted on fabric> Hang fabrics to make temporary or "arty" curtains, screens, and/or room dividers> Hang a quilt, Navaho rug, antique Persian carpet, etc. on a wall as an art object> Hang painter's canvas drop cloths to protect furniture> Hang plastic sheeting to stop drafts> Secure non-fitted sheets to a mattress (including decorative sheets to futon mattresses as sofa covers)> Secure a table cloth to a picnic table> Secure a comforter to a hammock> Secure beach towels or picnic blankets from blowing away (using weights or tent stakes)OTHER USES> Sometimes CargoLoc clips are handy for simply clipping two pieces of fabric or fabric-like material together, even when you do not use the eyelet part (don't attach a rope or cord).> Anchors or tie-down points for party balloons, etc.> Hanging points (e.g., for a lamp, etc) from a tent roof, etc.PROS> You can open the jaws of the CargoLoc clips to about 1/4" for really thick materials, such as rugs, cork sheeting, and heavy blankets, even solid materials such as cardboard or foam-board sheets.> You can easily open the CargoLoc clips to change positions, etc. It is easy to disconnect the clips to wash the comforter, etc. In some cases, particularly when you've carefully adjusted rope lengths etc, it is more convenient to de-install the tarp clip than to untie and re-tie the ropes.CONS> I suspect that in many situations the knob on the Cargoloc clips is vulnerable to getting caught on things or even broken off.> I have not used the Cargoloc clips long enough to notice them loosen when not desired, but the nature of the design of the clips makes that likely.In contrast EasyKlips [[ASIN:B0039YOMBC EasyKlip Midi 4101 220lbs Tarp Clip, Black, 4-Count] essentially auto-adjust, do not accidentally loosen, and have a sleek appearance, with no knobs or projections for ropes or other things to get caught on.RECOMMENDATION> I suggest the EasyKlips clips for materials up to about 1/8" thick when the installation will be at least semi-permanent.> I suggest the Cargoloc clips for very thick materials, for temporary installations, and/or when it may be desirable to change the position of the clip on the tarp (etc.) is likely.NOTEOne reviewer seems to be under the misguided idea that the clips are meant to attach to furniture and then be connected to tarps by ropes or bungy cords. Although that may work in some cases, that is not the purpose. The clips attach to the tarps, etc.> Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question.

These are heavy duty, well made and easy to install. I only gave them 4 stars because I feel they are kinda bulky looking and a little too pricey to use for crafts. It would be nice if they also came in a more neutral color like gray.

This was perfect for fixing a loop that ripped off of our tent. We are happy to have 3 others to keep in our gear in case we have futures issues! Just what I was looking for!

The media could not be loaded.  I was very skeptical, but for the price I had to give it a try. My yard is wide open and always windy! Could never keep the solar cover in place. I have a 21ft round pool. I used 8 grommets around the outside and put 2 in the middle. I can't believe that in these winds the cover has not moved! Thank you so much! So glad I came across these!

Unusual sized product in stock - yay!

Used these twice so far along with some garden spikes to keep a waterproof blanket in place on the grass. Both days were pretty windy and these kept the blanket in place. I read some posts about waterproof/resistant blankets being slippery because the water resistant side and the soft fleece side were not sewn together. With these, I did not have that issue at all. These clips so far have maintained an excellent grip even on a windy day. I have not used these with a tarp or during a storm with super high winds so I cannot speak to their efficacy in that respect but I did take a close look at the grip when I tightened the screw on the blanket and the grip is a pretty good one so they would work well during a rain storm. as long as you have a quality tarp.

Bought these to hold the door closed on a 20'H X 50'L Shelter that the zipper broke on. We live in a very windy state and have had them on for 2 months and so far they've been holding tight. I bought these and the 24 pic Awning Clamp Set and these screw tight were easier to get tight enough to hold. The other type has a slide to tighten the grip and it takes a lot of strength to get it tight enough to not worry about it. Plus these had a wider hole to thread the rope through without binding when we pulled the rope taught.Wish I had purchased more of these and skipped the other ones.

Work really well for adding reinforcing grommets to any sort of tarp or cover. I used a hole punch for the tarp cutout and used a small dead blow mallet to hammer the grommets iogether, its easy once you determine the proper location and cut the hole in the tarp. My 1 star deduction is because these grommets are not reusable so it's once and done so be careful with your layout and installation.

nice item but depends on what your doing,doesnt come with a tool to connect the grommets
