Would 550 or 570 paracord fit in the holes and notches if the guts were pulled out of the cord. (I know the cord looses a lot of weight bearing abilities when the guts are removed but I am looking to carry a tie down set not a lifting set)

I think so; give me a day or so, will try a short demo and get back to you. Have you considered usin 275 "tactical" paracord?

It should, but for safety I would go the hardware store and get some 1/2'' nylon braded rope. The para cord is good for tarps tent lines etc, it has a 500lb test, sounds like a lot but if you weigh 180 and hop in a chair you exceed that easily.

sorry for the late response , no the strainer fits perfect , worry is dropping it trying to make a carrier out of paracord with combiner

No. It won't cut through paracord. The Wire is not strong enough and will slip out of the anchors. It barely cuts through foam without falling apart.

It's not Para cord (550 cord) its nylon I replaced it and its a great knife easy to sharpen holds an edge for a while and you can't beat the price. It's a great buy for your buck

Most paracords are thicker and a lot stronger.This is also very stretchy and could not be used to hold and weight..It is use for hoods or sleeves.If you want a cord with stretch that is thin this is it.This cord also comes in thicker sizes.Which can be bought at Quest Outfitters but not this cheap.

No, you cannot. This model only comes with the one knot cord, the Endurolast 2 cords. The Endurolast 3 is the three-knot cord, and those start on the 300 models. Not sure what the others are talking about who say you can adjust these. I wouldn't add knots myself, because I don't know if these cords were made for that.

Thinking paracord as one and three quarter inch wide this one is one and one half inches wide and sadly the cap that screwed on the buckle to hide small fishing line or whatever popped off I don't know where. The inner pouch for a few dollar bills is nice though. Mike

I wrap mine in paracord. Gives you additional resource of cord plus a variety of looks depending on how you wrap it also cheap. The are lots of scales made for these knives tho if you're into that.

It is "a little flexible within limits dictated by a pre-formed shape", you wouldn't be able to tie knots w/ the cord or fold it in half. It's somewhat flexible though.

Yes it is rated for 550pounds, but I would find it difficult to hold and stop because of small diameter. I made brackets and gun slings out of it. And took one apart in the field to tie together my body armor strap.mostly emergency type utility stuff.

Hey, Patrick: Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec, here. Thanks for your question! I suspect that you are asking this question because there is quite a lot of Paracord on Amazon and other places that claim to be compliant with the MilSpec ... but just arent. We've noticed ... heavy sigh ... too! We have all of the MIL-C-5040H documentation in our files but it is so complicated that we don't bother to confuse our customers by sending it out. What we consider to be better is ... now we are sending out an ebook called, "We Love MilSpec Paracord and So Will You!" which explains in great detail and with very high resolution close-up pictures, all about the differences between MIL-C05040H Paracord and commercial Paracord. Inside of our ebook, we also provide a link to download your own copy of MIL-C-5040H. It's a tough read - 19 pages of "government" type writing, but it's good for Paracord Snobs, like us ... or for insomnia! Hope this helps! Keep Charging! Darren Wright, Customer Service Manager Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM)

Sounds about right. The paracord is light but strong. The clips are light and the rings are the only thing that are some what "heavier". But 8oz sounds about right.

Okay to answer your question when I was in the military we were instructed on how to rapid decent with paracord. It is not optimal but can be done. However given that this child will be using it I assume repeatedly I would suggest braiding it so that you get a better tensel strength. You can even call me at 740 577 8503 if you would like and I will explain in detail the benefits ad pitfalls.

I wouldn't do it...I have two of them, and if they were empty, sure, but full I have had one stretch out when the 550 cord shifted to one side and stretched the loop enough to come out. I use the loop to dummy cord it, to remove it from a fire when used for boiling, and affix a rubber band to it to cut done on the rattling in the car.

I actually still have my sheath and worked pretty well. I would think the best way is to create one by using the dimensions from you old one. Wouldn't be too hard. I would figure something in the lines of some alligator clips, some wax, some 550 cord, and something that could use as a sheath like something plastic to put the wax in and then put wrap in some cloth. That would be my best bet.

I hate to say that I don't know the diameter of 550 para cord. However I do know that a standard nylon boot lace that is made similar to the para cord I use for camping just thinner will fit through the handle and makes a great Lanyard....
