Does anyone use equi pings or those bungee stretch leads?

I use the equi pings and have done since they came out. I previously used the bungee type, but I didn't like the way they stretched and all I thought was them snapping back and didn't feel comfortable.

I use a bungee and it's great, have never had a problem in the last three years.

I have one of the thick, ?Horseguards bungees permanently attached to a post set into a concrete pad outside the barn and find it a great help in training ponies to be tied up - yes it stretches, but has a place designed to break in extremis, when both ends just go back to their normal length without any chance of hurting the horse. It's only ever happened once, with a very bolshy visiting mare that I did assume at her age was OK with being tied up. When training babies I stay with them and make them go forward into it if they pull back so that they learn to go into the pressure instead of pull back from it.
I apologise from diverting, but on the same subject of bungees, from the subject of the thread. I thought it might be useful info'.

I use a bungee in my wagon, one of the thick ones, not one of the very stretchy ones. I find it very handy as you can clip it on instantly before removing the rope, so pony is tied up straight away.

How strong are the equipingsand can you reuse them? The newer ones are £7.50 in ride away.
I was wondering if i could use the combination of a bungee and an equi ping. It's for the youngsters travelling and like you say, they are tied up with one clip then.
