The cord is pulled through the cam to the desired tension level, and the cam is locked in place. The tension is maintained until it is released by turning the cam. It is easy to adjust and can be fine-tuned at any time. The CamJam XT is designed for above-average load capacity and strength and can be reused hundreds of times. It can also be used as a practical loop to bundle, tie down, and secure loads. Both methods, looping and securing the ends, are excellent for binding and securing wood, tools, tents, tarps, and other equipment, as well as for roof racks, bike racks, and truck beds.
