Your traditional bungee cords and even your adjustable bungee cords are famous for being not quite long enough when you’re trying to secure something to a vehicle. While the hooks on the end allow you to link multiple cords together, if there isn’t enough tension, the bungee cords’ non-adjustable nature means you’ll have to make do with less. This leads to overstretching of the cord, which can result in a loss of elasticity, a broken bungee cord, or a potential eye injury from the recoil of the cord/fastener. Everything about the basic bungee cord can be improved which is why it seeded at the number 10 spot on this list.
