In reply to Barry Clements. Yes. You just have to rig it right.

In reply to Chang W. Jung. The claws are pretty light so the weight penalty is low, but if you want to save a few grams by cutting away line then you can do end only tie outs. There are many more advantages of a continuous ridge line besides the adjustment.

Why would you use the continuous ridgeline w/ Mama Claws if you don’t have the ability to adjust the tarp location without losing tension in the tarp? I thought that the ability to reposition the tarp was the key advantage of the continuous ridgeline. Am I missing something?
It makes more sense to tie the end of the tarp directly to the tree & use Nama Claw to tension it. This will eliminate the ridgelines over the tarp & save the weight.

These things work. Have been using them for about 8 months now. I have converted all my tarp ridge lines to using NAMA Claws. I left a set out in the weather for a month and there was no corrosion ( they are made of SS ). Lowest temps I have used them to is 11 degrees.
