Item 118155L is a car trunk net with hooks, stated to be 12
inches long by 24 inches wide. It is made with
polypropylene covered rubber cord, which has been knotted to
form a net-like structure, and fitted with plastic hooks.
Item 128155L is a packaged set of 6 "tie downs," which are
polypropylene covered rubber cords with metal hooks at each
end, in various lengths ranging from 12 to 24 inches.
