Is this cord "stretchy" similar to bungee cord / shock cord?

Very, very little stretch, if any at all. This is a "static" (I think that's the term!) cord. It's formed with a core of 7 two ply yarns, mostly white. The core iswrapped in the colored woven sheath. After you cut a piece, you will need to singe the ends to melt them to keep them from unraveling. There are severaltypes of paracord, but this answer refers specifically to the the cord I bought.

No, the cord is a set length, and will remain that length up to 550 pounds of force. It has a webbed outer sheathing that surrounds 7 inner wrapped cords. The cord may be cut to desired lengths, and then melted with a lighter, to seal the end and prevent unraveling. Otherwise, the inner cords may be pulled out and the sheathing or inner cords may be used independently for other purposes.

Yes this cord is flexible and lays flat. Its much better than those cheap orange cords you get in stores

It is a fairly static rope with about a 2% stretch or so at the most. 2 feet will stretch about half to 3/4 of an inch when pulled hard. I don't know if it would stretch more with continues load but I don't think so

It's not flexible like a cord but flexible enough to get around the back of your head and ears! I have mine for quite some time now and I love tnem! Hope that it'll help!

Not really. It does stretch out. It keeps its dexterity. Sometimes the coils can get tangled. But this is still a very good quality hose. Worth the money.

It appears to made of strong cord that is slightly stretchable, could be a synthetic material that is strong. It is not rope strands and stands up well in weather. I have installed outside as a basketball court net to keep the ball from bounding out of the court. I have had no problem with it breaking or over-stretching.

The extension cord I purchased is a 50amp 30' cord. However, this picture seems to show a much shorter cord that the one I have. My cord is heavy and seems like a much bigger coil that what is pictured. Hopefully, this just a misprint for the picture. The price is about what I paid for my 30' cord.

no, no bungee cord. I sent mine back because it arrived damaged(though the box was fine!) there are sturdier carts for the same price.

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping. These are the strongest springs in this type of cord lock I have encountered.

NO... the end on this cord in the picture is NOT what you get... the end actually is round and rubber... it is not what is pictured - unusable

As I understand it, 'Bungee Cord' is more-or-less a trade name for a particular product that is universally used for many similar products. i.e. a 3 foot cord with hooks on each end. However 'shock cord' is a more descriptive title of the cord itself, and it can be used to make many other products including 'Bungee Cords'. In essence, the shock cord is the bulk cord before anything is attached to it, or made from it. I used it to re-string some camping chairs, and to make tie-downs for an RV awning screen. Plus I have made several custom 'bungee cords' that suit my particular needs.

No, it's not stretchy at all. It's a pretty hard and thick piece of silicone.

Hello Ash, Thank you for your inquiry. It really is up to you, if you want to use something a little heavier depending on the project this is the Elastic Cord to use. Also it is easier to tie this one at the end into a knot. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Kind Regards, Elsie Customer Service Representative S&S Worldwide

I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

The 8" bungee cord length is actually 1" ball plus 7" bungee (the elastic part). The fully extended elastic part is 14". Therefore, the ratio of the relaxed to fully extended elastic part is 1/2. FYI - the force to full extend is 8 lbs. I did this test on a new, unused one of these cords.JRR

It's the same material as bungee cord. If you have hooks on the sides of the trailer, you could weave this through the eyes on the tarp and pull the cord to the hooks on the trailer or use the cord to make your own bungee cords. It's a good quality cord though. It's cheaper to buy directly through sgtknots.com though

If you know how to roll up an extension cord, this one rolls up nicely and doesn't kink. All extension cords develop twists as you roll them up. so
