A good cam cleat holds securely without damaging lines, engages and releases easily, works well with a wide range of line sizes and types, and gives years of good service. Harken Cam-Matics feature ball bearings for optimum performance. Balls allow pawls to open and close easily both under high and low load applications. teeth can be smooth to protect lines because tooth grip is not required to close the pawls. Lines can be precisely adjusted because there is a minimal slippage during engagement. Harken also holds a patent on the unique pawl geometry of the Cam-Matics which ensures that lines of all sizes are held by the greatest number of teeth.
