Don’t do this with a Maxcon peg spring!

Maxcons tent pegs are not designed to work with other pegs, and doing so, can have serious consequences.

Maxcons will in future not indiscriminately sell Maxcons peg spares to the public. They will sell to existing Maxcon peg owners and may request proof that you own Maxcon pegs before selling them to you.

During his routine testing of Maxcons camping products, designer and Maxcons owner, Connie Kruger, found that the widely-used 7-pegs can be dangerous if used with Maxcons peg springs. The tests were done after campers were observed where they combined the 7-peg with the strong Max-Peg spring, possibly in order to save money.

It turns out that the 25 – 45kg power of the peg springs is able to pull a large 7-peg out of the ground when it gradually pulls on the peg. If it then experiences a sudden strong pull, as in the case of a wind gust or a person tripping over a guy rope.

Part of the Maxcons brand is its image of reliability and safety. Maxcons would like to preserve this image of the company.

The unfortunate truth is that accidents happen, and people who create situations where these accidents happen, never admit to the wrong use of equipment. It is mostly blamed on the equipment.

Connie says he won’t be part of an event that may cause a child a lost eye, and that is why they took this unusual decision.
