I love these little things. I used them about a month ago in some high winds, 20-30 mph I'm guessing. I had a half hitch for safety and they held without a problem. When I drove out from my site in the morning there was a large tree down that had taken out the power lines.

I got a 25 pack on eBay. Love them so far.

So, yes, I think I'm having good luck with the locs, and zing-it.......RR

I'm fairly surprised by this. I was really excited to use this with my SF and 1.75 zing it guy outs, but every one of them slipped under moderate pressure.

Maybe I did something wrong...

This sounds like a stupid question, but did you get the right size? There is more than one option. Second, did you put a backup slippery half hitch? Sometimes that's all it takes.

I've had no slipping with 1.75mm zing-it in the *mini* lineloks with no back up half hitch. The minis are ~5/8" long in the longest dimension.

Mouse, I just checked, and they are the right size according to clean's measurements below. I will definitely try a half hitch, that's something I hadn't thought of.

Clean, I wish I had better experiences. Maybe I'll revisit how I attached them. These are too easy for me not to use them.

Hilo, I don't know if it matters but I am using them in the manner described in this thread.

Also I am using the glow-in-the-dark version previously sold in the hammock forum store, not the black ones.

That's what I had been using as well.

I did some testing, and I think there is a quality control issue. At least with the batch I received. Out of 9 tested (lost one I think), 3 barely hold any tension, 2 are great, and 4 are in between there. Maybe I'll pick up some more as well as try the half hitch.
