We used them to hold down a sun shade tent on the beach even during windy weather it stayed stuck to the ground

I thought there was no way they would hold

They held tight and then pulled out easily after unhooking the carabineer

As noted in the product description these come with dring clips and the blue cords shown in the image

The long black cords are not part of the product

Until the thing was anchored the tent was basically a kite and very difficult to set up

Im sure it would be okay in a pinch but i always have a lot of firewood and kids who are willing to go rock hunting so its really a nonissue

Though the carabiner seems cheap i would imagine the spring mechanism in it would go before it bends out of shape or anything and could easily be fixed by any cheapo s biner or carabiner
