When I needed some shock cord, I went to Defender and discovered they
had two brands of cord at two quite different prices. The rigger on duty
assured me that they were both about the same when new, but the more
expensive one would still be performing long after the cheap stuff
failed. The cheaper stuff looked just like the 2 year old stuff I was
replacing. The good stuff is still snappy 6 years later and shows no
signs of weakening.

Looking to buy some hog ring pliers, rings and bulk shock cord to sort
a few things. Am assuming that as in life, there is good and bad in
bungee, and that probably someone here knows all about it.
Need to repair my spinnaker pole, and also rig some custom-length
shock cords on various other items. Seems like handy stuff and tools
to have around. My web search skills have so far failed me.
Any suggestions as to sources, (I know sailrite, amazon) and how to
discern good from bad quality?
Thanks!
Dave
