The innovative, patented Figure 9 is a cord tightener that tightens, tensions, and secures cords without using knots. Constructed from strong aluminum, the Figure 9 allows you to tighten cord in both looped and straight line configurations. This ingenious little innovation was even recognized with an Editor's Choice Award from Backpacker Magazine. 

The Nite Ize Figure 9 Small makes tightening any line a stress-free task. From bundling fire wood for your next camping trip to tying down trunk lids, this handy tool handles small tie-down jobs quickly and keeps the tension where you need it. Loop your rope through its strategically designed prongs, pull it tight, and it stays that way.

A smart alternative to complicated cam-locking devices or bungee cords, our Figure 9 also controls the release of high tension, avoiding sudden and dangerous unloading.
