Hey TOUGH-GRID, what were the results of your tensile strength test's of your cord? What weight did it hold up to?

Hi Atilla, Sorry I didn't see this question long ago! Must be my old eyes or something. ; - ) There is a range at which our 750lb Type 4 Mil Spec cord fails/breaks. Generally speaking... that is somewhere between 760 and 820+ pounds. Why the range? Well, even though we ONLY sell Mil Spec cord, there are still variations in the yarns that necessitate an honest disclosure about the break strength. In reality... no two cords are ever identical due to variations in the nylon manufacturing process. That said; our cord always exceeds the 750lb minimum break strength... sometimes it exceeds it by more than other times. Thanks, Bill... TOUGH-GRID

It seems to be pretty strong. I stretched it enough to get a good, tight wrap without it breaking. I don't know just how much it would take, but at least I didn't have a problem with it breaking.

I never weighed the cord and carry it coiled a a 5 gallon plastic bucket but 10 pounds sounds about right. Although the cable is large in diameter it is very flexible, coils easily in my bucket, and does not tend to kink or tangle. The only problem I have encountered is that it is slightly too large in diameter to lock into the cable keeper on my Greenworks lawnmower.

Sorry, I did not put any real strain on it other than as a strap for hanging a 60# kayak off the wall. Suggest you contact the manufacturer to get load limit/working load data. This stuff is strong, but since I don't have a clue what you are going to stress it to.....

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

The cord feels very durable. I have not been too careful with it and have done some pulls that could have broken most others. It is around 2.5 meters (8.5ft) long

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.

Did you pull the cord hard enough? The first one I had we had to pull the cord really hard. I wound up exchanging it for another. The new one I received was much easier to pull.

According to the manufacturer, the weight of a package of TWO of these cords is 31 pounds .... so the weight on ONE cord would be about 15.5 punds ... http://www.uswireandcable.com/cord_sets_outdoor.html

This product performs better than any other 550 I have used, but I dont know where the data would be availabe for you to print out. Some say its "GTG 550", some disagree. As long as it supports close to 600lbs. on an intact strand, and is mold/mildew resistant, Im happy. Sorry I cant be of more help :(

Yes. I weigh 155 and it bent when I was half way up a 15' wall testing it out. I then straightened it out and welded the tines together at the main shank. It's working great now. I have used it about 10 times. Climbing 10-30 feet. I changed the rope of course. To reach the higher limits I tied a string to a large nut and tossed that over a tree limb and then attached the grapple and pulled it over. Be safe! Roy

I wouldn't want to guess at the tensil strength of the cable, but it seems a little light weight for a 50 lb Pincher mix. I would recommend an upgrade to a heavier cable.

no too, too bad. The cable seems good, although it does seem.... "squishier" than that of a monster cable or other top name brand.BUT... I'm the only one who uses the cable, so I have never had a problem with it. I just keep in mind that at the end of the night, when I'm arm rolling the cable, I will not just "PULL" the cable if it gets stuck, I'll go get it unstuck.. Again, never had a issue with the cable

It is kinda thin for a hammock. It would support the weight no problem, but I have had a couple hammocks and the cord was much thicker than this.

As a 50 foot cord it is pretty manageable. It is the medium duty, heavy gauge wire so it can certainly can get in a tussle if you let it. The heavy duty cords are the real bear. If you are running 15 amps or less this is the cord you want. Anything more than 15 amps you need the next size up. Less than 10 amps, you may want to step down and get the more flexible cord at a higher gauge.

So far it's been reliable. I've never pulled the cord beyond the yellow warning stripe. I suspect overextending could cause a problem.

You mean when taking it down? I recall average strength. If it won't budge, there's a tangled cord or something.
