I will be using this rope in my basement area which limits me to 15ft rope. Which rope would you suggest 1.5" or 2"?

Fifteen is kind of short. For me I'd definitely go with the heavier (usually thicker) rope.

Unless you have ReallyBigHands or are a very accomplished athlete ( w really good grip. ) the 1.5's would work better for you.

Hi, I would use a 2" rope. The reason The 2" rope is heavyer than the 1.5" rope. You will get a better workout.

The limitation of 15ft will not affect whether 1.5" or 2" is right for you. The only consideration is circumference to hand size and weight to length. It is difficult for an average sized, athletic man to climb 2" rope because the circumference makes grip strength a challenge.Most intermediate to advanced athletes would still climb 1.75". 1.5" is good for beginners. If you are only doing battle ropes with this, the added diameter adds additional weight over a given distance, making larger rope more challenging for the grip, as well as all other muscles involved. If you will be tugging (e.g. tug of war, sled pulling), the grip is, again the key factor. I suggest a demo, go get your hands on it. Or, failing that, roll a sheet of paper to a 1.5" and 2" diameter and see how your hand gets around it. For most 1.5"=beginner, 1.75"=intermediate, 2"= advanced... don't forget to purchase a length just over double the distance you plan to battle so you have enough...

I purchased the 3/8" version and it holds my rope light firmly in place. My rope light is outdoors subject to heavy winds at times and i have had no issues.

I have used this type of rope for climbing. I bought some grip tape an wrapped it at intervals the length of the climb. It worked fine. 1.5in dia. is the most common for climbing.

I am not sure what size rope, but I have a three wheel bike up on it in the garage. My husband used an extra rope just to make sure it would not Give. It is up high now so I can't measure anything. To see it in use, Go to my Facebook Janice Larson Lundblad Dreier. The 300 watt light bulb obscures some vision.

I have a 40m rope and their is all kinds of room in it. But it is a 8.4mm. I have bigger ropes in the 10. mm range that should have no problem - in the 40m to 60m range.

We use a 50 ft. 3/8 inch ski rope. Just got back from a Lake Powell trip and once again the grandkids love it. We used that same rope to tie it up to the houseboat when not in use Had a heavy storm, and held fine.

I have a 9 foot ceiling and when all the way down, still have another 6 foot of rope left on the floor (approximately 15 feet from the pulley). My unit has a 4:1 mechanical advantage.

I replaced mine with a slighty larger, stronger rope - personal preference only - the cord that comes with it is plenty strong and is long enough for almost any application.

Siamak, I don't think your size really matters. It is your fitness level that will determine the rope size. The thicker the rope & longer the rope, the higher the difficulty level. Shorter/thinner ropes will allow longer exercise durations, while the opposite will yield shorter & more intense workouts. The 40' 2" is a good in between difficulty level rope. But like anything else, it's not so much WHAT you use, but more of HOW you use it.

What will I be hanging this on or from? I hung mine from a tree it's pretty big and the rope is long. All I need was a 2 foot chain link to connect around the tree with.

I am guessing that it will depend on what the purpose of the carabiner is. It should be large enough to be comfortable in the hand if you are planning on having to change the rope or its position. I would suggest 3" at a minimum.

You bet. A great rope! I would recommend using only figure 8's since some of the mechanical belay or rappel devises are made for larger diameter ropes.

1 30/40' rope. However, ropes are long enough to loop around a stationary object and forming a pair for bilateral upper extremity usage. Trust me, the BLACK MAMBA will rock your world.

No, it will not accept 1/2" rope, but it does come with a yellow nylon rope that is strong enough to hoist your deer. I hung 2 this year with no issues.

Be sure to pick the correct size I bought the 10 x 20 white and it works well, be sure to center it end for end before tightening the ropes.

Best I can tell is 1 inch is about it. But like the other responder said, wrap a piece of chain around your 2 inch bar and hang the hook on that. The hoist is a good product for the money. I like mine. I use it for lifting 55 gal water barrels off the back of my truck.

I have a 60 meter 10mm rope and it works fine. Not the same, but shouldn't make that much of a difference.
