Adjustable Loop

About

The Adjustable Loop can easily be altered by sliding the knot up and down the standing end to make the loop smaller or larger. It is commonly used when there is a need (and the means) to quickly place a loop over an object. It will automatically cinch down on the object when the standing end is pulled. There is a built-in safety attribute that allows the knot to slide and grip when placed under a shock load until friction can stop it.
