The intended use is hanging tarps, ridgelines and clotheslines, wrap and hold stuff, etc. It’s also perfect for clothesline, which I use to hang stuff to dry and also to assemble/disassemble equipment, a support to fold my tarp and sleeping bag or inflate/deflate my pad when the floor is wet or muddy or dirty and I can’t lay equipment on the ground for whatever reason. To use the Loop System: Tie a knot to create a loop in one end of your rope or cord. Clip the CamJam XT into that loop, then pull the other end or rope through the cam mechanism.

Customer reviews

The CamJam XT aluminum rope & cord tighteners feature Nite Ize signature, knot-free CamJam tightening and tensioning technology. Available in two heavy-duty sizes and built from durable, cast aluminum, this rugged combination of carabiner and cam mechanism is designed to tighten, tension, connect, and secure serious loads up to 280 and 500 lbs respectively. The CamJam has become one of those products that I always have hooked on to my gear because I always want it with me when I'm camping. One thing that I cannot stand is having a knot tighten up too much much to where it's near impossible to get undone. Also, it's kind of frustrating when you have something hanging or relying on a knot and the knot comes untied. The CamJam makes cord tightening and release a breeze!
