Anyone know the strength or weight of pull on the 1/2" cord?

No I don't, but I use a lot of bungie cords, different sizes from 3/16, 3/8, & 7/16, and all of them are strong, never broke any! I'm assuming 1/2 inch would pull a car if you needed to? I'm sure it will meet your need. I used 3/8 & 7/16 to hold a tarp down on the top of a 10 X 20 building and they lasted over 6 months. Ken Hockin Alvin, Texas

It weighs about 10lbs. It's a standard 2-prong plug, so you may need an adapter

1875. And stronger than other cord keepers I've tried. My favorite so far :)

We've seen results from an independent test facility. They performed their tests at the end of 2013. They lowest weight at which the cord broke was just over 800 lbs, and the highest weight was just under 900 lbs. If you read the feedback comments here, you will find several other folks who performed their own tests and got similar results.

These cords weigh approximately 20lbs. I will have Amazon update our listing. Thank you.

Your best bet is a 16 guage heavy duty cord. Now depending on the lenght of the cord, the manual may recommend a 14 guage. These cords btw, come in different colors.

It is light. I cannot handle heavy things and cannot pull a cord for gas powered equipment. BUT, I would NOT get this one - I have always gotten the 12 inch until this one and I am extremely disappointed in this because it does not cut well and the cord does not automatically advance like it is suppose to.

I wouldn't advise that. the tension on the pull would be enough to pull the cord apart or you'd constantly find yourself pausing to pull-release-pull-release to get it to catch at one of the stop points. Buy a goat instead, or just wait for global warming to incinerate your lawn. At last with one you get a meal when the zombie apocalypse happens.

It is a fairly static rope with about a 2% stretch or so at the most. 2 feet will stretch about half to 3/4 of an inch when pulled hard. I don't know if it would stretch more with continues load but I don't think so

I have not experienced any pulling. The light weight DC cord is also easier to manipulate than the far thicker and less flexible than that of any corded clippers I have used.

Weighs l lb 6 oz not including weight of the cord. Feels light to me and asked my wife and she said if feels light to her. If one was a hairdresser and held it all day it might seem heavy - otherwise it should be fine.

I don't know the weight pull. We had ours installed professionally and it feels like I could not pull it out of the wall no matter how hard I pulled or how strong I was.

I'm not sure about a pull cord, I think you're looking at the steel handle that's hanging down. That is a steel arm (with an L in it so you can turn it) that connects to the bolt on the main housing. You turn the bolt to raise or lower the rim. Once installed the whole thing is pretty bulletproof. I've had it at 8' and at 10', and it's strong. The backboard will rattle after a few months of heavy use. I've found that adding black duct tape to the edges dampens the vibration and cuts down on rattle noise.

I would not recommend trying to support the weight of anything from the electrical plug/cord. The cords I received are quite tight on the female end, but the male end, (blades), were never designed to support weight. I have attached restraints to keep the 1 foot cords in place within an portable cabinet. I used plastic zip ties. In this manner, there is no additional weight placed on either the cord plug, or the outlet. There are companies that make retainers to prevent cords from pulling apart, but they are normally seen on construction sites where tools are being used repeatedly and the guys just pull the cord along with the tool. Mostly the cord is tied into a knot for this purpose. For the laptop power supply, I would try to extend it to either the floor, or another location to allow the supply cord to rest on. I hope this helps, and good luck!

Contact them and they will send you a new cord. The 175lb pull is too strong for that crank. I had the beef mine up when it was ripped off its base after the first yime I cranked it. Check my previous post with pictures.

Take a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Fusion-2-Rescue-Pulley-Blue/dp/B008KECIRG Breaking strength is 34 kilonewton, or roughly 7500 pounds, and it is designed to accept up to a 5/8" rope. NOTE: It is aluminum, so it cannot be used with a steel winch cable.

I used a 100 ft heavy cord..............but frankly the mower sucks. It's very light weight, doesn't cut well and unless you have very flat ground and grass that isn't thick you're wasting your money. I sent mine back within two days of trying it.
