If two ropes are joined together do you need to use the "extension cord" between them or do they just fit together neatly?

Hey Angry... They connect to one another with the goofy and cumbersome round plug that is built in. It works fine as long as you don't mind looking at the big, goofy connector. Hope this helps.

The extension cord can be removed by unscrewing it and multiple ropes (i have 6) can be chained together using a single plug extension. Hope this helps.

they fit together. No extension needed. My only regret, while I've had no issues with this product, wish I would have spent just a little bit more for the LED rope lighting.

Hi Mark, I only used the rope with this unit and never used the tape. Depending on what you are using it to keep out / in, I am sure the tape works well but I don't know what distance will be lost if any.

Its not very long or thick. You could link a few together to wrap around the extension cord....just that you'll need more to them to get the job.... : )

Actually that is a safety feature to insure neither hand is in harms way. I believe every log splitter is required to have this feature. I have split perhaps 50 cords and this is seldom an issue so accept it or don't use a log splitter

Well, I would say that this device will "hold" extension cords together. Lock? Don't think so. I bought it to protect and extension connection to a heated water hose from the inclement weather elements.

I just used 2 standard ethernet cords (each about 75 ft) and used the coupler to join them together. Works just fine.

They are connected together. joined by one cord. they can be dismounted, but will only stretch about 3 ft away from each other.

If you have 5 separate lines I would ASSUME you would need 5. We only had one line with a wheel at both ends. So this device ties the two ends together. So if you have more then two ends (one piece of rope) you would need more.

None is provided, so it depends on how you use it. I just tied the ropes to a tree branch, so none was needed. (I took it down after the grands left and stored it for the next visit. Works great that way.)

You're right, this is a safer bet without an extension ladder. But I've never had a problem, as the extensions lock together well. If it bothers you, just take the extensions apart, and use a single ladder. Or, you could tie them together or rig a 'lock' so that they absolutely won't come apart. This is a very cool device, and thicker, stronger and heavier than you'd expect.

No, you can separate them. Sadly, mine didn't come with the rope. The hands have Velcro so I Velcro'd their hands together to go across our window at the front of the house. I also had some hanging from the chandelier.

I think so, but I'm not using mine now. I think that worst case scenario would be that you might need to sit on a stool or tie on an extension to the rope. No big deal in my opinion.

Please, it's just a string! Take a new piece of string a few inches long, tie a loop in both ends, slip out the original string (it's not permanently attached... it loosens very easily, no cuts needed), and loop your extension piece onto either end (exactly the same way the original string is looped around and threaded through the attachment point). Be an example to your kids (like Catherine) by having a positive attitude about solving simple problems resourcefully.

They are made so that you can connect more than one string together. Just make sure that you have an adequate extension power cord to handle whatever load you are going to put on the circuit.

They can be set up between trees. you tie the slackline around the trees and then the rachet is used to tighten the rope.

Don't skimp on extension cords. Buy a good one and get a thick (low gage) one that matches their recommendation for the length of cord you plan to use.

I would say no but only because most extension cords are usually too thick. If it's an extension cord that's old and only has two wires you could possibly get away with it
