    The figuer 9z? Or 9 clips whatever they are called?

    Hey guys viper here.
    The other day I got a few of those like figuer Nunez or 9 clips I forgot what they are called. Anyways for tightening up my tarp. And I got them from Walmart, and they are pretty big even for the smallest ones they have. With my hand out flat they go a bit longer then the old of my hand. Anyone know where I can get those that still work but smaller?

    These? Figure 9 Nite Ize. I think Nunez is a last name.







    You can get them at Lowes or order them online.

    You can get a 4 pack of small figure 9's with a set of 6' lines for about $10 at REI or other Nite Ize dealers.

    Or learn how to tie a taut line hitch and save weight and money. If you are messing with tents and tarps, this is a great knot to learn. You can use the hitch at the tarp or stake end and leave it in place, so you don't need to tie it every time. Nothing to buy-- or lose

    Harbor freight carries them too.. the small figure 9 carabiners go for like $3 each, and with the monthly coupons, you sometimes get a 20-30% off an order or item coupon..

    How much weight do they need to be able to hold for my tarp?
