We present the CLAMCLEAT® Micros Tie-Down Clamp CL282

The Clamcleat® CL282 Micros Tie-down is a mid-air cleat that is designed for one end to be attached to fixed point. The rope comes in from the other end, through the fairlead and into the teeth. The free end of the rope is pulled to tension. Used for tie-downs and tensioning control lines on canoes, kayaks and sailing dinghies. Works with all types of fiber ropes and cords, from 1-3mm.

Attach to a fixed point using a shackle, carabiner (carbine hook), hook, screw-link, rope or webbing. The CL282 is designed for 4mm shackles etc, but it can be attached to some types of 6mm hooks, carabiners and shackles. (The above photos show 4mm hardware.)

Another cleat for 1-3mm cords, that rigs without a rope tail, is the CL266.
A slightly larger cleat, that also rigs without a rope tail is the CL260 for 2-5mm cords.
