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 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

maybe 2 lbs? it's not heavy at all. i'm able to hold it, even at an upward angle for enough time to cut down tree branches.

I can't give you the exact weight, but its not heavy at all. I have another 15" HP laptop that has a much heavier power cord. Haven't had any problems with the wifi performance.

It is not hard to manage the cord. It reminds be of using an upright vacuum cleaner, and not any heavier!

I've used then to pull the entire stack (200lbs) on a cable machine and they help it for multiple sets. So if that's any indication of their strength then you should be good.

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.

I used the1/4inch cord to repair mine and it worked fine. The original cord was thinner but was doubled over, for the repair I just used the thicker 1/4inch cord once.

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.

The pull strength is not very strong. Will barely pull up a 16x9x3/8" thick plywood door. The motor switches on and off as it reaches a switch setting you can adjust.

If you go to Wondermotor's web site, you can find the max. torque load in inch pounds. An 8" pulley would be 4" out from center. Divide the max. in. lb. rating by 4 & it ought to be pretty close. It won't be very much. I just checked & it's rated at 8.5 foot pounds, that's 102 in. lb. This works out to about 25.5 lb. with the 8"ulley. In reality, I don't think it would actually lift that much without damaging the plastic driven gear inside. I used mine to build a mobility scooter hoist to get the sections of my scooter in the back of the car. At the highest part on my lift I have a 4" diameter spool of webbing. It lifted the 28 lb. deck section OK but it was groaning. I added a pulley block to cut the load in half.

I really don't know, I pulled about two feet out which is all that I need. I have not attempted to pull the entire cord out.

It depends on length of the run as well. Look online and there are good resources to help you determine if 1/2" is adequate for your job. I decided against using it at my house because I am in lightening alley in Florida and I did not like the pictures I found of appropriately grounded hose getting blown out.

I didn't pull too hard but it didn't come apart easily. Good luck with your project.

I'm not sure of exact weight, however, it is heavy to push. The cord is very long, which is very helpful, but adds to the weight.

Not sure. Pretty heavy-same or better than power cords for my office equipment.

It is easy to pull. I would not call it a string it is a cord and very sturdy. I hold top of chopper when I pull the cord. I never once thought about cord breaking. I use chopper all the time!
