“I tried this product three ways – on a ripped tarp, a tarp with missing eyelets and a sheet of clear plastic. It worked well in each case. Both cable and block seem to be made of strong materials. I changed the connection point for tie downs to my tarps in seconds. I am always covering wood and machinery at my camp. This product will save me time and hold a tarp better in strong winds. I give it 5 stars!”
