Thats right...the hooks merely make it easy to attatch it to a grommet on a tarp or something.

Yes, surprisingly so. The fact that the hole and cord are virtually the same size and the shoulders of the hole are sharp makes it hold really well.

Good idea - I need to neaten some wires up.

Thanks

The antenna cable comes up from under the seat; I use a zip tie to keep it out of the seat track. The power cable you can see - that goes to a cigarette lighter plug in the rear of the console. The rig is only five watts or I would have run a heavier power cord to the fuse block. The microphone is shown next to the rig, which would work.I have it running to a mic bracket held under a gizmo on my dashboard (another Instructable: https://www.instructables.com/id/A-Place-for-Every...)Thanks for the inquiry.

You hit on what I had planned to do originally, except the scrap of PVC I had was too small to hold the plug and recepticle. That's what I would do - drill and keyhole - a hole in each end.Thanks for the comment and for putting a little thought into it.

There is only 8" of cable on my leaf blower; there's not enough to tie a flat overhand bend to join the cables. A simple overhand knot around the blower cable tends to bend the plug pins if yanked.For joining two shorter extension cords, I often use a knot (the F. O. bend), too.

Good idea, and I use it, but with a slight variation on my 100' cord. (I hope I'm not repeating somebody.)What I do is lay the cord out in three runs instesd of two: down, back, down. Use a piece of tape to mark the thirds.Now you have a plug on one end and a recrpticle on the end of an extension cord you can use for a quick, temporary job.

BTW, I am still using my pants stretcher, after nearly a year. I always use it with jeans, and have resurrected some dress pants, too.

Once the bolts are installed, you use a drill bit to strip the head; a do it yourself security bolt.

Nope ☺ the other end is locked in the vehicle.

Wish I'd thought of that. Thanks.

I didn't realize when I published this Instructable that Dustin Rogers had published a similar one. Sorry about that, but mine is different. He was right about using a safety pin to reinforce the waistband button.

outstanding!

Really great idea.

Good idea -- beats wrapping it around a piece of PVC pipe.
