You can buy it from these guys as well. Just wanted to let you guys know.

The design was a bit different. The brand name was Nite Ize Figure 9 Rope Tightener. Google found: http://www.usahardware.com/inet/shop/item/06350/icn/20-017863/rcp_enterprises/f9s_03_tp09.htm They have different sizes and ratings. Can't wait to get one of these, though. Especially for truck tie-downs. I found a similar, and smaller item at REI in the tent tie-down section. The design was a bit different. The brand name was Nite Ize Figure 9 Rope Tightener.

Since canoe season is upon us here in MI I guess I am going to have to learn the real one, or get some of these.

Metal, with the self-locking nature makes them even cooler I guess. I apologize for mistakenly saying these were plastic. Metal, with the self-locking nature makes them even cooler I guess.

The reason why I invented this product is because there are 9 different way to tie a trucker's knot and more and more people are becoming confused or not bothering to learn but still try to secure cargo with ropes. The Tite-Tie gives a super strong tie down with no knot tying, and the one size fits small to large ropes, you can even use webbing straps. The reason why I am not selling them directly is because my distributors have asked me not to. The Tite-Tie is exported and sold throughout Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and Israel, and will be available at most leading hardware stores in the US soon for $7.50 to $9.95 a set. If you would like anymore information regarding the Tite-Tie please contact me via my web site Hello all Toolmongers

Or it could be that this is an Australian product. Their website says that it’s a new product - that might explain the lack of online availability if it’s true.

I would probably lean more towards these than the ratcheting tiedowns (which are great but for most everything I just use rope).
